A massive 10ft crocodile was spotted swimming in a pool as it hissed and thrashed its gigantic body.
Two experts tried to get the beast out of the homeowner's pool in Florida, US but the huge croc was having none of it as it tried to evade capture.
The reptile found itself in someone's backyard on early Sunday morning and Florida wildlife officials soon got a worried call about the unwanted guest.
Expert wildlife trapper Todd Hardwick, of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, tried to haul the critter out of the pool at the home in Plantation Key.
A video released by the Pesky Critters Wildlife Control shows Todd and assistant, Jeff Peterla, roping the crocodile in as it violently fights back.
In the video the croc can be seen thrashing around as water spills all over the pool deck, creating a slick and dangerous footing situation.
Todd can be seen tugging on the rope in the footage and eventually the duo get the beast out of the water, dragging it across the wet asphalt.
But it wasn't over then as the crocodile continued to flip over again and again on its back while being tied up by the mouth with the expert's rope.
One member from the expert team then got onto the reptile's back, stabilising him so he couldn't move around anymore.
The team agreed the animal was bigger than they had initially expected, and once it was taken to a safe place with help from a Monroe County Officer, it was seen shuffling into its habitat and going on its way.
"One more example in Florida of why everyone should turn on the pool light before they jump in for a swim at night," expert Todd Hardwick told in an interview with the Miami Herald.
Crocodiles are a threatened species in Florida and endangered throughout the United States, Pesky Critters have said.
They are most common in the US around south Florida's coastlines, but are greatly outnumbered by alligators in the Sunshine State.
Naturally, they live in brackish or saltwater areas, and can be found in ponds, coves, and creeks in mangrove swamps.
