DATELINE - Plantation Key FL

You can find crocodiles all over the place in the Sunshine State.

One place that Florida Man probably doesn't expect to find a huge crocodile is in his swimming pool taking a late night swim.

We're not sure if crocodiles are aware of this, but the chemicals found in pools generally aren't good for their health. So when Florida Man Todd Hardwick of Pesky Critters Wildlife Control was called to the scene, he knew he needed to get the croc out of that pool.

As you might imagine, the croc was not happy when the trapper arrived, but probably less amused by the circumstances than the homeowner was when he discovered who was taking a late-night swim in his pool.

The video (see below) is pretty wild as Hardwick goes about the task of getting this unwanted visitor out of the pool.

In addition to just getting the crocodile under control, perhaps the best part of the video is someone saying, "Keep him off the furniture." We don't know about you, but if we were to find a crocodile in our swimming pool, the absolute last thing we would be worried about is the poolside patio furniture.
