Wild watchmen: Piranhas, tigers may join crocodile prison guards in Indonesia!!!

Just days after he announced plans to promote crocodiles to prison guards, Indonesia's anti-drug agency chief now says he may hire tigers and piranhas to do the same job.

National Narcotics Agency (BNN) chief Budi Waseso said on Friday that he had already obtained two crocodiles from a farm to study their strength and aggression, and may soon enroll as many as 1,000 to deter convicts from escaping from prison, according to local media.

"The number [of crocodiles] will depend on how big the area is, or whether perhaps to combine them with piranhas," Waseso said, according to the rimanews.com portal. "Because the [prison] personnel numbers are short we can use wild animals. We could use tigers too - for conservation at the same time."

But any prison-guarding piranhas would need to be recruited from elsewhere, as they are native to South America and not indigenous to Indonesia. Full story...
