Qantas Airways has confirmed that a crocodile escaped from its cage last week on a flight from Brisbane to Melbourne, and was discovered roaming the cargo hold by a baggage handler. Fortunately the croc was recaptured without incident. Qantas didn't reveal the size of the crocodile, so it might have only been a relatively harmless baby although we prefer to imagine it was a monstrous beast that was wrestled off the plane by Samuel L. Jackson.
