HARROGATE got a flavour of the tropics this week - but torrential rain wasn't the only exotic visitor, as a crocodile made its home in a swamped corner of the Stray.
Drivers and walkers – at least those prepared to brave the downpours – gathered for a glimpse, undeterred by a bright yellow sign warning of the presence of a dangerous predator.Closer inspection revealed the beast to be little more than a wooden log with eyes on stalks.It's a new spin on the Loch Ness Monster which paid a visit to the Stray during previous floods.
And just like its fabled Scottish predecessor, the origin of the crocodile remains shrouded in mystery.
Harrogate Advertiser readers have said they were "tickled" by the prank, with one correspondent saying: "It makes me laugh every time I go past."
