Only in South Africa… couple wake to find a crocodile in their swimming pool!

 

North West, South Africa (30 January 2021) – There’s a crocodile in my Pool!!! The Wild Heart Wildlife Foundation shared the story about the rescue after Angel and Jaco Breytenbach from the North West Province found a crocodile in their swimming pool!

The Wild Heart Wildlife Foundation is a small Non-Profit Organization making a big impact via Ethical Conservation, committed to putting the welfare of Wildlife first.

The South African couple woke up and checked their security cameras before letting their animals out. And it’s a good thing they did as there was a crocodile chilling in their swimming pool.

“This morning… this happened, only in South Africa hey!” Angel said.

Various animals have been displaced and shown up in strange places due to the heavy rains brought in by Cyclone Eloise. It is believed that this crocodile came from a nearby river.

The Crocodile was safely removed and placed in a safe location. He will be checked out by the Dept of Nature Conservation on Monday, then released back into its natural habitat.

The Wild Heart Wildlife Foundation would like to remind everyone that animals like these should only be handled by experienced handlers.

“Relocation and rescue of these animals is a very dangerous job, and you should always contact professionals to assist.”
