A church in Russia has hit on a bizarre way of trying to attract more youngsters to prayer: crocodiles! They are part of a tiny built in the religious building's basement in Lomonosov near St Petersburg. There are three crocodiles and other exotic there to add a new dimension to Sunday service. "The purpose (of organising the ) was creating conditions for children to be interested in coming to the church," said priest Oleg Yemelianenko. While it's an odd idea, the church is only filling a gap in the market. "(It was) interesting as we don't have a local (in Lomonosov)," said visitor Olga Koltsova. "Here are a lot of visitors with kids." Yemelianenko founded the to teach his children a love of nature and it's steadily grown over the last decade. Now the facility is going to be enlarged, which will see better living conditions for the and crocodiles.
