Wild Florida’s Halloween scare: Meet Freddy Krueger, the crocodile!

MIAMI — On Halloween, Wild Florida featured a real-life monster.

A massive American crocodile named Freddy Krueger was spotted at Flamingo Marina in Everglades National Park.

Alison Joslyn, a close friend of Wild Florida, shared a video of the croc, which is estimated to be around 15 or 16-feet long, stretching and yawning.

Known to locals in South Miami-Dade, this dominant croc earned its nickname for its aggressive behavior, often hunting and eating other crocodiles.

Its formidable size and fierce behavior make it one of the most notable predators in the area.
