'Infamous Croczilla': Enormous Crocodile Sunbathes by Pond in Florida Wetlands

A rather large crocodile, https://www.floridarambler.com/kayaking-in-florida/everglades-national-park-canoe-trail-nine-mile-pond/ known to locals as Croczilla , was spotted sunbathing at Nine Mile Pond in Florida's Everglades National Park on April 1. Kymberly, who filmed her encounter with the "infamous Croczilla", told Storyful she always "hopes to get a glimpse" of the reptilian whenever she explores the Everglades. "After many failed attempts in the past year, I looped through Nine Mile Pond on my way out of the park for a final check," she said. To her surprise, she found the crocodile after passing a number of parked vehicles. "I was shocked to see the infamous Croczilla, not at a distance but immediately in front of me on the shore, basking in the sun," Kymberly said. "The crocodile almost didn't look real."
