Title: Deadly Nile Crocodile in Everglades National Park
Post by: finehoe on March 17, 2014, 07:58:09 AM
A juvenile Nile crocodile, a larger, man-eating relative of the local species, was captured alive Sunday in Everglades National Park after eluding wildlife officers for nearly two years.

Officials believe the 5 1/2-foot croc escaped from a south Miami-Dade County facility, along with two others captured in the area in 2009 and 2012.
