I can't take this call right now, my phone's in a crocodile. Please leave a message at the tone....

The crocodile in Peter Pan happily went tick-tock after swallowing an alarm clock – but a crocodile in Ukraine has been a little less fortunate.

Gena, a 14-year-old crocodile at the Dnipropetrovsk Oceanarium, has been refusing food and acting listlessly after eating a mobile phone dropped by a woman trying to photograph her last month. The phone kept ringing inside the crocodile for some time.

Rimma Golovko, the phone's owner, says she wants her SIM card back because it contains her photographs and contacts.

The crocodile will be taken to a clinic for an X-ray next week to see if the phone is still there. Vets are considering surgery as a last resort.
