In case an apartment filled with reptiles or snakes on a train wasn’t enough, a crocodile was spotted in Upper Manhattan Thursday — and he was straight up chilling. The 34thStreet Precinct tweeted a picture of the reptile saying it was crossing NinthAvenue in Inwood.
So this alligator was crossing 9th Ave in #Inwood…no, really. At 205 Str. Cops took him to Animal Control #whatnext pic.twitter.com/EG5Z3bkQPl

The post initially stated the creature was an alligator, but Twitter came to the rescue to set the story straight.
.@lizzieohreally Oh, ok. Then it makes much more sense that he’d be on 9th. That’s more of a crocodile hangout than an alligator spot…thx

The little crocodile that could was even caught between the Uber — NYC crossfire.
.@yaelbt I heard he couldn’t get a cab. And he wasn’t thrilled with Uber either…

The NYPD captured Inwood’s communal pet at 205 th Street and handed it over to Animal Care & Control. Thankfully no injuries — man or animal — were reported.
