A crocodile at a Ukrainian aquarium has apparently become sick after swallowing a mobile phone that a visitor accidentally dropped into its enclosure.
The BBC reports that 14-year-old Gena has been refusing to eat since the incident and is lacking energy.
Rimma Golovko had stretched out her arm to take a photograph of the reptile when her phone slipped. "This should have been a very dramatic shot, but things didn't work out," she said.
Workers didn't believe the accident had occurred until the woman's phone began to ring while inside the crocodile.
A member of staff at the Dnipropetrovsk aquarium told the AP: "He moves very little and swims much less than he used to."
The animal may need to operated on after refusing to eat live quail injected with a laxative. Golovko says that she would like her SIM card back as it contains all her contacts.

She wants her SIM card back after that?
No consideration at all for the poor animal that she fed a phone?

"This wouldn't be a problem if it was an AT+T phone"
the animal must be going through some extreme pain. I hope they can surgically remove it ASAP since digesting it is not a good idea.

That phone needs to get removed, and that woman needs to learn to keep a better hold of her things.
