Mystery Tree Beast turns out to be Croissant

Headline of the day :lol:

When animal welfare officers received a report of an unusual animal lurking in a tree in the Polish city of Krakow, they were not sure what to expect.

"People aren't opening their windows because they're afraid it will go into their house," the woman reportedly said.

But a visit to the area showed the creature in question was not a bird, or even an reptile - but a croissant.

The Krakow Animal Welfare Society said the incident was genuine.

Writing on Facebook, the organisation said its officers had asked the desperate caller whether the unidentified animal, which had been in the tree for two days, could be a bird of prey.

The woman responded that it looked more like a "lagun" - Polish for lagoon - before remembering the correct word "legwan", or iguana.

Although the inspectors knew that it was unlikely that a reptile would survive the cool spring temperatures in the southern Polish city, they wondered if the animal could have been an unwanted pet abandoned by its owners.

Arriving on the scene, however, the inspectors found the headless and limbless object in a lilac tree - a pastry, probably thrown out of a window to feed birds.

The organisation remained light-hearted about the encounter and said the public should continue to err on the side of caution and report any concerns about animal welfare.

Continue to err on the side of caution people, there may be more croissants out there

The accusation was flaky at best.

Speculation - the motives of the croissant should not be assumed :capnscotty:

That story took a surprising (maple pecan) twist.

Who throws out a croissant?!

It must have been a real pain (au chocolat) in the bum for the residents.

They were probably expecting it to come back.

Reads like the plot of a One Foot in the Grave episode.

Victor throws a stale Croissant out his window to feed the birds and it gets stuck on a branch. As the episode goes on more and more people start gathering around the tree outside his house and they block his car in with their TV vans as everyone is trying to get a look at the tree beast.

End of the episode is he gets so frustrated he tries to knock down the Croissant himself to prove what it is since nobody would listen to him, all the people get angry and leave and on the way knock down his wall or something.
