Wildlife officials capture crocodile

KEY LARGO, Fla. (WSVN) -- A giant crocodile has been relocated to the Everglades after being spotted in the Florida Keys.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission captured the giant crocodile over the weekend. A 7News viewer submitted a picture of the 12 foot, 430-plus pound reptile as it was captured in Key Largo.

Instead of euthanizing the crocodile, FWC took it to the Everglades and released it.
