Crocodile visits bar, poses for snaps

CNN) -- It sounds like the setup to a joke: A crocodile walks into a bar... A saltwater crocodile measuring just two feet long is held by a patron at the Noonamah Tavern.





Drinkers at a watering hole in the Australian outback found themselves toasting a baby saltwater crocodile that wandered up to the pub's door Sunday.
No one knows how the two-foot long (60 cm) crocodile ended up outside the Noonamah Tavern, located off a dusty highway about 25 miles (40 km) from the Northern Territory capital of Darwin.
But unusual creatures are all in a day's drinking for the tavern, said bartender Leila Naray.
"We've had a lot of horses pop up. We've had cane toads, which are yukky," she said. "We have had a big buffalo come in, wander around. There's a photo of him with a beer."
The tavern is also famous for its annual frog-racing competition, a charity event when patrons pack the bar and bet on the best hopper.
But the crocodile was apparently a first.
