South Florida has proved to be the perfect home for large reptiles from other tropical parts of the world. For example, the Burmese python, a native of Southeast Asia, has taken root in the Everglades over the last several decades. Therefore, it’s not surprising that a few Nile crocodiles (crocodylus niloticus) have been reported patrolling Florida’s swamps. But it’s still unclear if the Nile crocodiles are breeding in the wild. Florida law requires croc keepers to have a permit and report any animals that escape. To date, only four incidents have been reported and they may correspond to the four individuals identified by scientists. If they have established a population, getting rid of them may prove to be a bureaucratic nightmare. The Nile crocodile is protected by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Endangered Species Act. Special permission has to be obtained to move or euthanize individual crocs–even though they’re in a non-native habitat. Nile crocodiles in Florida was filmed by Heiko Kiera aka Ojatro and is available at www.Ojatrovisuals.com
