Florida wildlife officials were called to a residential home early Sunday morning to remove a 10-foot crocodile from the pool.
The homeowners called the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission who sent well-known trapper Todd Hardwick and his team from Pesky Critters Wildlife Control.
The team arrived at the home in Plantation Key, around 2 a.m.
A video released by Pesky Critters shows Hardwick and his assistant, Jeff Peterla, roping the crocodile, which fights back. The water splashes all over the pool deck, creating a slick and dangerous footing situation.
Hardwick can be seen in the video removing its restraints and encouraging the animal to go back into its habitat.
“One more example in Florida of why everyone should turn on the pool light before they jump in for a swim at night,” Hardwick told the Miami Herald.
