| Crocodile |
I have heard of finding odd and random things under hotel beds, but a crocodile?! That brings an entire new meaning to monsters under the bed.
A man in Zimbabwe, Guy Whittall, got a large and dangerous shock when he woke up this morning. An 8 foot crocodile
was camping out under his bed. He didn’t notice the unexpected roommate
until housekeeping arrived with his breakfast. The woman started
screaming as the crocodile made its presence known.
“The really disconcerting thing
about the whole episode is the fact that I was sitting on the edge of
the bed that morning, bare foot and just centimeters away from the croc!”
The man survived the entire night with a croc under his bed at the Humani Lodge.
He assumes that the beast came from the nearby Turgwe River. The
unwanted visitor didn’t leave without a fight either. As he and few of
the staff tried to remove the crocodile, it began snapping and writhing.
“Catching and securing a croc of any
size on land, though, is a fairly straightforward affair and we are
experienced in that. The most important thing is to get its snout roped
and secured, and then it’s just a matter of restraining it and covering
its eyes, to calm it down.”
They did manage
to get the croc safely out of the lodging and back into the river. Guy
was very cool, but surprised by the situation and even made a little
joke…
“I just remember thinking, goodness
gracious, that’s one for the books. I’m pretty sure everyone in Humani
checks under their bed before going to sleep now anyway.”
Could you imagine finding a crocodile under your bed? I don’t think I could be as cool and collected as this man! For fun, I did a little search on the weirdest things found in hotels and this is what I found…
Cats – A room attendant found a hefty cash tip along with a small herd of cats. The owner never returned.
A Goat Dressed like Abraham Lincoln – Seriously, one housekeeper confessed they found the animal after a bachelor party.
Blow Up Doll – A repeat
customer who requested the same room every time was hiding a blow up
doll under the hotel bed until staff discovered it and threw it away.
Gourmet Cheese Platter – It was left under the bed and discovered by housekeeping.
