- The Krakow Animal Welfare Society in Poland recently received a call from a woman who claimed that a mysterious beast was lurking outside her building in a tree. She told them "People aren't opening their windows because they're afraid it will go into their house!"
- Welfare officers asked her to describe the unusual creature. The woman told her that it kind of looked like an iguana.
- Wondering how any reptile could survive the spring cold in Krakow, the welfare officers arrived on the scene thinking that they might come across someone's pet stuck in a tree.
- Instead, the "beast" that the woman called in fear about was not an iguana or even a cat. It was a croissant wedged in the tree's limbs.
- They believe the pastry was thrown into the tree to give local birds a snack.
- The Welfare Society had a good laugh, but, according to the BBC, reminded Krakow's residents to use caution when making calls.
