Original title: Japanese crocodile died and found more than 330 coins in his stomach
Japan's Kyodo News Agency learned from Dongshan animal and botanical garden in Nagoya, Japan, on October 2 that more than 330 coins were found in the stomach of Mississippi crocodiles who died in the garden in May. The crocodile is suspected to have swallowed a coin that tourists dropped into the crocodile pool as a wish. The cause of death may be aging, but the veterinarian of the park stressed that 'it will not work, so don't put money in'.
According to Dongshan zoological and botanical garden, the crocodile came to the park in 1965. When he died, it was inferred that he was over 54 years old and was a male Mississippi crocodile. Anatomy showed no signs of internal organ failure, and the health effects of coins were unclear.
Crocodiles had the habit of putting small stones in their stomach to grind food. They may swallow coins and small stones together.
The coins taken out were 4 100 yen coins, 11 50 yen coins, 225 10 yen coins and 90 5 yen coins, with a total amount of 3650 yen (about 242 yuan). In addition, there are a large number of suspected 1 yen coins, 6 game coins and small stones dissolved in gastric acid. The total weight of the coin is about 2.6 kilograms.
Crocodiles were initially viewed only through glass, but a new display facility was built in 1989. Coins can be put into the crocodile pool from the channel set on the crocodile pool.
There are signs in the park calling for no coin, but they have no effect. Yucun, a veterinarian who carries out anatomy, said: 'such & lsquo; Savings & rsquo; Shocking. However, because it may also block the intestines, I hope to stop it. "
