I do not know how any of us would react if a nearly 11 foot crocodile was seen outside of a police station in Mandini, Kwazulu Natal South Africa on Wednesday evening. The police in the station made an emergency call to the not for profit IPSS Search and Rescue who had to ask Ashton Musgrave who is an expert is capturing large crocodiles. Thanks to the teamwork of the IPSS Search and Rescue and Ashton Musgrave, the crocodile was captured and taken to the back of a vehicle. The crocodile was then taken to the wilderness area of the Hluhluwe region. How did the crocodile get near a police station in South Africa is not known. Thank goodness no one was hurt in this incident. Link is upi.com/7281697736068 via @upi

What a big fellow, Hey, you know maybe the poor crocodile had a crime committed against him and he wanted to report it, No one really knows what animals are thinking or what they want,

That is very true since the only way I can understand my cat Burt is when he meows near the entrance of the front door that he wants to go outside for a walk.

I am glad they did not hurt the crocodile and it was turned loss.

That is a BIG crocodile. It looks like they have him safely trussed up.

That is true since most gators that are seen in the U S are usually four to eight feet long.

I'm glad that no one and the croc were not injured and that it was released to a wilderness area.
