Crocodile in pool greets homeowner in Florida Keys

A homeowner on Lower Matecumbe Key certainly wouldn’t argue after finding a crocodile in his swimming pool.

An unwelcome guest took a dip in a private pool in the Florida Keys Thursday: A very long crocodile.

A multi-million dollar home in South Florida had a wild addition to its pool.

“Sheriff’s Office and Fish and Wildlife officers worked together and the crocodile was safely removed and returned to the ocean”, said Monroe sheriff’s spokeswoman Becky Herrin said.

– The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has had a busy few weeks.

Apparently, nobody can figure out how the crocodile got into the pool, which – for everyone that doesn’t live in Florida – sounds like the intro to a horror movie. While the croc wandered in all on its own, the shark was likely put in the pool by a pair of pranksters, an FWC report in that case indicates.
