Hong Kong bags elusive croc


Hong Kong conservation workers have finally bagged an elusive crocodile after it evaded and embarrassed some of the world's top croc hunters for months.

The reptile, thought to have been brought in illegally as a pet and later released in a river in the city's rural New Territories area, swam into a trap after a seven-month hunt involving everything from chicken heads to bamboo poles.
