Cell Phone in a Crocodile's Belly?

           A fourteen-year-old crocodile swallowed a cell phone at the Ukraine aquarium, but how did it happen? The cell phone had been dropped by a women who was trying to take a picture of the creature. The cell phone caused the crocodile to have a stomach ache. The poor creature didn't eat or play with its other crocodiles for four weeks since the accident. Veterinarians say the last thing they would want to do was surgical removal, because the stitches would take about three weeks to heal.
          Something like this is very interesting, yet sad. The fact that a crocodile swallowed a cell phone is very new, but sad that the crocodile had to suffer like this. This shows that, because we are humans, accidents do happen and so we have to be careful of what we do because it could harm someone or something else.
          An incident like this helps me learn a lot of things. First, that whenever I go to an aquarium, I should always be careful of the distance I am in of taking a picture of an animal because I can drop the camera just as the woman did. Second, even if I did drop it by accident, the animal will not only know what it is, but it might eat the camera or cell phone just as the crocodile did. No matter how you plan things in life, you never know when something might go wrong-- and that's why it's better to be safe than sorry.
