London Zoo has gone viral online after a visitor shared a picture they took of the zoo's crocodile enclosure, which featured a handbag as part of a stark message on the importance of conservation.
The enclosure was supposed to feature a Siamese crocodile - a critically endangered species of reptile native to countries including Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia - but instead of the animal, a large brown handbag made from crocodile skin was sitting in the centre of the glass container.
London Zoo, which is the world's oldest scientific zoo and is found within Regent's Park in the UK capital, had even put a placard in place to let people know about the Siamese crocodile, including facts about why the animals are now so rare in the wild, MyLondon reports.
