So incredible! Looks like a beautiful place too. I don't blame the croc.

yeah! I was quite surprised myself to see this croc lounging out in someone's yard. And thank you for the correction.

Hello. Wow. This is just out by the hammock? I've seen alligators hanging around human habitation but I didn't know crocodiles were so nonchalant about this in Florida. BTW, the saltwater crocodile or Crocodylus porosus occurs from the western Pacific to India. This would be C. acutus.
