Croc captured, relocated from golf course

A Key West-area golf course just lost 202 pounds.

That’s how much a female crocodile weighed in after a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission crocodile hunter and an animal control officer from the Florida Keys SPCA captured the 9-foot-1-inch reptile about 4 a.m. Saturday morning, a two-hour job.

“We pulled it out of the water,” said Chris Guinto, the FWC’s crocodile response agent and nuisance alligator trapper since 2006. “I was going and tracking this crocodile for a few days at night in a pond. She got used to seeing me and she’d take off.”

At the request of the Key West Golf Club on Stock Island, the wildlife officials spent the past few weeks searching for the croc, which was relocated after its capture.
