The capital was stunned in 2004, when undercover SSPCA officers caught a man keeping an alligator in a Leith tower block.
When he advertised the dangerous animal for sale, police, alongside officers from the animal welfare charity, met with him in a car park - and were confronted with the unrestrained creature in a car boot.
While the alligator was under his supervision, it was housed in his bathtub - before the potential danger of the animal was realised and he made the decision to sell.
