Rescuers in the south Siberian republic of Khakassia caught a two-meter long crocodile peacefully floating in a lake on Wednesday.
A group of tourists in a catamaran spotted the reptile in the water and first mistook it for a log.
The crocodile belonged to a photographer who offered tourists resting at the lake a photo op with the huge reptile. It took the rescuers 20 minutes to capture the reptile, which was unharmed.
