MIAMI -- Residents in a South Miami neighborhood woke up to an
unwanted guest Wednesday morning when a 10-foot crocodile was spotted
walking through front yards.
The crocodile was found in the 6900
block of Southwest 65th Avenue where it briefly lounged on a front porch
before taking a rest between two homes.
When a worker from Pesky Critters
Wildlife Control came to take the croc away, it started hissing and
snapping. Within a matter of minutes, the critter wrangler was able to
get the croc under control and into the back of his truck.
Javier Tobares, who lives in the home where the croc stopped, said he was sleeping when he heard his dog growling.
"I come outside and I see all these
guys around a pretty big crocodile. It's pretty interesting, I never
seen that so close," Tobares said. "It was a big, big crocodile."
