These two crocs were lost in Yonkers.
Police making an unrelated bust in the Westchester County city stumbled on a wild situation — a pair of reptiles crawling around a local home, according to Patch.
The young critters — a Morelet’s crocodile from Central America and a smooth-front caiman native to the Amazon rainforest — were discovered Dec. 10, the outlet said.

Renowned reptile pro Mark Perpetua posted on Facebook that the animals were way out of their element.
He said the Morelet — which can grow up to 9 feet long — is typically found in Mexico, Belize and Guatemala.
“This little one will grow to about 5 feet long,” he added of the caiman. “They are native to the Amazon and Orinoco river basins in South America. All 27 species of crocodilians require a special license to keep in NY. I will be picking these two up next Tuesday after I return from CrocFest.”
In a follow-up post last week, Perpetua said the two reptiles were now safe and sound.

“The two little crocodilians confiscated in Yonkers came today,” he wrote. “They both look healthy although the croc has a few marks and is missing half its tail.”
Yonkers police did not respond to a Post request for more information.
