Nile Crocodiles Found Really Far Out of Africa. In Florida.The Nile crocodile, which inhabits sub-Saharan Africa, can grow to 21 feet long and weigh one and a half tons. It eats just about anything — including humans.
Now four have been found in Florida, although none were that large. They were probably brought from South Africa and kept as pets or zoo displays.
One was a hatchling about a foot long sitting on a porch in Miami. Another was found on the property of a private zoo in Homestead, Fla., and a third, a 10-pound female, was captured in a public park, also in Homestead.
Finally, five months later, in March 2012, a three-foot-long female was trapped in a canal in Homestead, above. This one was tagged and released.
She turned up again two years later and 29 miles away, having grown to five and a half feet long.
