MIAMI -- A huge crocodile is heading back into the wild after being captured in a family's yard in Cutler Bay, news partner NBC 6 reported.

It took six men from Pesky Critters to catch the 11-foot, 500-pound saltwater croc.

The crocodile will be released, not killed, because saltwater crocodiles are considered nearly extinct.

Trapper Todd Hardwick called the sighting positive.

I dont. These reptiles are nothing like GATORS . They are very aggressive and much bigger. I've run across a few out in the swamp and they're not to be toyed with. They could kill them all and I wouldn't care. Its just another animal thats not native to florida thats gonna screw things up.

Are these things related to the African crocodiles? Like the ones on the Nile in Egypt? if so they NEED to exterminate em all and NOT let them loose.

Ever.

Anything that isnt Native to Florida needs to be Nixed in the bud ASAP!!!

Should'a had one at Chappaquidick.

:question: Aren't they native to Malaysia? Send 'em back there.

Salties are native to many areas, though they are most common in Aussie land. And yes, they are MUCH more agressive than gators or most other croc species. (Steve Irwin, aka The Crocodile Hunter has made most of his living off of these blokes).

Crikey.

I never even knew there WAS such a thing as a saltwater croc.

I'd still bet on King Kong.

I've seen two from an airboat and they'll come right on up to it as if they were kong.

Introduce the croc to Versie Jackson (http://www.freeconservatives.com/vb/showthread.php?t=36190).

Ideally the critter would choke to death after vomiting her.
