AUSTRALIA'S tropical Northern Territory presented an unusual gift to Britain's new royal baby, Prince George, yesterday - 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.
The gift continues a tradition. George's parents were presented with a pair of crocodiles by Darwin, the territory's capital, to mark their engagement. Giles said the reptiles are still on display locally "for all the world to see."
Giles said he hoped the gift would attract the prince and his parents to northern Australia for a visit.
