MIAMI -- A huge crocodile is heading back into the wild after being captured in a family's yard in Cutler Bay, news partner NBC 6 reported. It took six men from Pesky Critters to catch the 11-foot, 500-pound saltwater croc.
The crocodile will be released, not killed, because saltwater crocodiles are considered nearly extinct. Trapper Todd Hardwick called the sighting positive."There are more and more crocodiles turning up now because the animals are making a recovery, which is a great thing. Unfortunately, the citizens aren't so crazy about seeing an 11-foot crocodile in the neighborhood," he said. The family who lives at the home was shaken up, but no one was injured.
