Greek police are baffled by the mysterious appearance of a two-metre long crocodile spotted lounging near an artificial dam on the tourist island of Crete.

The reptile was spotted by a team of local fire officers.

Two reptile experts have been called to help capture the animal - and police are planning to circle the dam with a fence to protect locals.

A 3-meter-long crocodile that became a national celebrity in Greece after being discovered last summer in a lake in Crete has been found dead.

Cretan media reported that the crocodile, nicknamed Sifis by locals, was not able to survive the winter. The reptile will be transferred to a natural history museum, according to reports.
