Sarah, a 22-year-old from Brisbane, and a group of her friends, headed out to Australia Zoo on Queensland's Sunshine Coast last Saturday.
"Basically me and a group of friends all planned to go to the zoo together, I was hype for the otters," Sarah told BuzzFeed News.
When Sarah and her friends got to the gift shop, they found this very special guy.
"At the end of the day, buying plushies from the gift shop, one of my friends pointed out the derpy crocs and we all cracked up for a solid 10 minutes at them," she said.
"There were hundreds and they all looked as derpy as the next, and I swear like six or seven of us got one."
Sarah tweeted out photos of the crocodile on Monday...
Can we all appreciate this crocodile I got from Australia zoo on the weekend
And people absolutely lost it.
@FabuPonah I’m fucking wheezing
@FabuPonah I feel like he continuously tries to lean in on other animal toys while whispering "cha cha cha" .. but due to poor eyesight doesn't realize this said "animal" is actually a chair or a wall or other inanimate object
@FabuPonah @ByteBehemoth Keeping both eyes on the top of your head is hard work
@FabuPonah These are all distinct but relatable moods
@FabuPonah @punchesbears one minute of silence for this poor reptile
This guy thought it looked like his little brother.
@FabuPonah it looks like my little brother
Some people are saying the croc is just doing its best.
@FabuPonah He’s doing his very best and that’s all that matters lol
@FabuPonah He’s a good boi and doing his best.
And it turns out that the croc is not the only slightly special animal figurine out there.
@FabuPonah MY HANDSOME BOY HAS A BROTHER
@FabuPonah We named ours Herbert and gave him a skateboard
@FabuPonah As a fellow collector of derpy looking animal tchotchkes from tourist traps, I highly approve While not as impressive as your croc, I am proud of this owl I found at a gift shop in the port of Athens, Greece, in 2016. https://t.co/BBVjJYhrs6
The croc is now being immortalised in art.
@FabuPonah A story told in four pictures
@FabuPonah I have drawn The Boy.
@FabuPonah Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, derpagator?
@FabuPonah ive been inspired thank you
Sarah's cat Ned also loves the croc.

The croc squeaks, which cats are into.
So far, Sarah's crocodile tweets have almost 7,000 retweets and over 30,000 likes. That's obviously because of the deeply heartwarming nature of the croc...
Sarah and her friends love their crocs and had a group phone call on Monday evening. "We were all laughing at the post blowing up, and squeaking our crocs," she said.
Gnight, he looks stoned in this position
"He is truly beautiful, that's for sure," Sarah said. "Living icon."
