Hide AdThe first ''sighting'' of the crocodile happened in 2014 when a bus driver claimed he saw one.
Police tweeted at the time: "One of our officers was flagged down by a bus driver today, claiming to have seen a 6ft crocodile. We can't find it.''
The crocodile sculpture is the latest work by anonymous Bristol artist Getting Up To Stuff.
It appeared on Thursday morning and was mostly being ignored by oblivious passers-by on nearby Bristol Bridge.
