The crocodile stolen is a Schneider's dwarf caiman but can still grow to just over 8 feet, a reward of £2,500 has been offered for information that leads to Taggen's return.

"I think whoever did this knew what they were doing," Bergen aquarium director Kees Oscar Ekeli told Reuters, suggesting the young crocodile was smuggled out in a bag during the busiest hours on Saturday.

Taggen eats "a good mix of fish and meat" and can grow to be about 2.5 metres (8.2 feet) long. "It has a solid bite. Considering it is not bigger than it is, you could lose a few fingers, but no vital organs," Ekeli said.
