We’ve heard of unwanted dinner guests, but this takes the cake, so to speak.
In Australia, wildlife officials helped an Australian family remove a 5-foot-6-inch crocodile from the living room of their home. The croc apparently wandered in and made itself at home.
The juvenile saltwater crocodile ended up in the home located in Bees Creek, a suburb of the northern Australian city of Darwin. Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported that the family found it in a partially enclosed living area Saturday morning after their dog woke them up with its barking.
Resident Jo Dodd describes the encounter as “a very surreal moment” and “the most freakiest thing.” She suspects the croc might been stalking the dog.
Officials believe that the croc may have been forced from a nearby creek by a larger predator. It has been relocated to a crocodile farm.
