An unusual scene, in which a raccoon is perched on a crocodile in a river in Florida, was shared on social media, highlighting how surprising wildlife can be in this region of the United States.
The pest control company Pesky Critters shared an astonishing image on Facebook, claiming that, although it may seem unbelievable, the photograph is genuine.
"No, we have no idea how or why this raccoon decided to climb onto a crocodile," said Pesky Critters.
"Have you heard of 'Florida Man', now meet 'Florida Raccoon'," the company joked, alluding to the popular series of absurd headlines featuring men in Florida, thereby highlighting the unusual behavior of the raccoon that decided to ride on a crocodile.
Recently, trapper Todd Hardwick and his team from Pesky Critters rescued 21 baby crocodiles caught in the filter of a residential pool in Miami-Dade County.
The rescue, which took place under the watchful eye of the mother crocodile, who was about 15 feet away in a nearby canal, was successfully carried out without any setbacks, the company pointed out on Facebook.
In last May, Martin Brenner, a resident of the city of New Smyrna Beach in the state of Florida, never imagined, not even in his worst nightmares, that he would encounter a three-meter (10-foot) long alligator in the pool of his home, but that is exactly what happened.
The unusual thing, according to the owner of the house located in the community of Venetian Bay, was the surprising way it entered: “It didn’t tear anything or cause any damage, it just pushed the piece of protective mesh,” reported News 6.
