Crocodile alarm on Lake Constance: Fire brigade responds because of the dummy!
An unexpected spectacle caused a stir on Lake Constance. This morning, walkers in Konstanz noticed a strange sight: the head of a large reptile sticking out of a pond. The fire department was immediately alerted and several emergency services arrived on site to get to the bottom of the alleged danger. Firefighters secured the area and began investigating the mysterious object. This seemed to raise alarm in the region for the time being, as a wild animal seemed to be worrying everyone involved. Derwesten reports that the operation began at around 8:00 a.m.
The emergency services investigated the matter using special equipment such as long poles, nets and thick gloves. The head looked so real that there was no doubt about the walkers' assessment. Only upon closer inspection did it become clear: it was a deceptively real plastic dummy that was attached to a stone to prevent abortion. The police also took the secured dummy into custody and are now trying to clarify the origin of the horror image. Despite the excitement at the pond, the mystery surrounding the reasons for the dummy's placement remains unanswered. Tagesschau assures that no one was injured and there was no danger from a real crocodile.
The reactions in the region
The police operation, which lasted about 45 minutes, not only caused an uneasy feeling, but also a few laughs among the residents. The excitement over the crocodile head generated widespread interest and government officials noted that the story quickly became a topic of conversation in the region. However, the incident also gives food for thought. In fact, there are frequent reports of crocodile attacks around the world, such as recently in Australia, where an angler went missing after an attack. Mopo explains that such incidents can have serious consequences, and urges caution when dealing with reptiles.
Although the situation in Konstanz ended lightly, the question remains unanswered: How did the dummy crocodile get into the pond? The police investigation will show whether there is a joke or some other intention behind it. Until then, the shock at Lake Constance will certainly continue to resonate in many conversations.
