An Aventura woman was disturbed to find a crocodile in her backyard, and has to wait over a month for its removal, according to a report by WSVN, a Fox affiliated news station serving Miami.
Patricia Jesurum was walking her dog Sunday when she spotted the crocodile on her lakeside property near Northwest 25th Court and 214th Street, according to WSVN.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission told Jesurum that it would be 45 days before they could remove the animal, since the crocodile is in its natural habitat, WSVN reported.
Jesurum was disturbed to hear this as there are several families with children and pets in the neighborhood.
