It's been said that a packed shopping mall can resemble a zoo. Still, you wouldn't expect to find wild animals there. But that's just what happened in Beijing. A baby crocodile was found in a pond near one of the busiest shopping areas.

据说一家人满为患的购物中心可以与动物园相提并论。尽管如此，人们也并不想在那里看到野生动物。但是，这的的确确就是北京一家购物中心所发生的事情。有人在人流最多的购物区附近的一个池子内发现了一只小鳄鱼。

Property management staff of the Solana shopping center reported their discovery to the Beijing Aquatic Wild Animal Rescue Center. The half-meter reptile was later confirmed to be an aggressive Siamese crocodile. It's believed to be an abandoned exotic pet. Specialists say it could pose a threat to children. The rescue center now has it well in hand.

索拉纳购物中心的管理人员向北京水生野生动物营救中心通报了此事。这只半米长的动物被认定为是攻击性较强的暹罗鳄。这只小鳄鱼很可能是一只被弃的异国宠物。专家说它会对儿童构成威胁。目前，营救中心已将这只小鳄鱼安全带走。
