Crocodiles found roaming a Yonkers home

Imagine police showing up for a routine bust in Yonkers and instead finding two crocodiles crawling around a local house! One was a Morelet’s crocodile from Central America, the other a smooth-front caiman from the Amazon. These reptiles, which can grow to several feet long, are way out of their element in Westchester. Both animals are now safe, but it’s wild to think exotic pets like these could be living next door. What do you think—should there be stricter rules on keeping exotic animals in our neighborhoods? #Science #Yonkers #Westchester
