Trappers from Pesky Critters work with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission as FWC Crocodile Agents.
Working with a Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputy, the trappers were able to get the crocodile out of the pool, restrained, and back in its habitat.
Crocodiles are a threatened species in Florida and endangered everywhere else in the United States.
If you’re concerned about a crocodile, call 866-392-4286 (866-FWC-GATOR).
