Crocodile Jordan hopes mate will snap to it

Jordan is 22-years-old and spends most of her spare time with friend Jodie but in a bid to take advantage of Valentine's Day she is now trying to find the perfect man online.

But let's be clear about this, Jordan is not your standard lady of leisure, she is none other than West African Dwarf Crocodile, resident at Drayton Manor Zoo.

Bosses at the Zoo now feel it is time she stopped sharing a tank with Jodie and are taking all measures possible to find a perfect companion.

Managers at the Zoo have set up a special profile for Jordan on dating site 'Plenty of Fish' in the hope that another zoo or animal love can help match make Jordan and find her a mate who is impressed by her feisty personality and obvious assets listed in her profile.

Colin Bryan, the park's managing director, said: "Jordan and Jodie have lived together for three years but we wanted to give Jordan the chance to find true love this Valentines' Day. So we are hoping the dating site can work its magic for animal varieties too." Jordan's entry on 'Plenty of Fish' reads "looking for love and make it snappy" with her hobbies listed as fish and steak, sunbathing, swimming, wrestling and river cruises.

Her entry reads: "Some might say I'm a fast mover but I like the thrill of the chase. I've got all my own teeth and I have a lovely wide smile".

The public can see Jordan and Jodie, along with the other animals, this week as the zoo and Thomas Land attraction have reopened.
