Australia gifts Prince George a baby crocodile

Australia's tropical Northern Territory yesterday presented an unusual gift to Britain's new royal baby, Prince George, -- a crocodile hatched on the day his conception was announced.
The tiny reptile, named George after its recipient, was unveiled by Adam Giles, chief minister of the outback province, who described it as a "unique gift".
"(Its) egg was hatched on December the 3rd, the same day that Kate and William announced to the world that they were expecting a child," Giles told reporters.
Giles said he hoped the gift would lure the prince and his parents to northern Australia for a visit.
Third in line to the British throne, Prince George was born in London on Tuesday, triggering global fanfare including in Australia, where Queen Elizabeth II is the head of state.
