Huge 10ft crocodile splashes around in Florida pool before being released back into wild

A massive 10ft crocodile was removed from the swimming pool of a Florida home and released back into the wild.

The reptile had managed to find its way into the back garden of a home on the island of Plantation Key, Monroe County.

Footage shows expert wildlife trapper Todd Hardwick securing the crocodile, even after its massive splashes created a slick and dangerous footing situation on the pool deck.

He and assistant trapper Jeff Peterla eventually heaved it onto the deck where a Monroe County police officer then assisted them with moving it to a safe location for release.
