In this Sept. 18, 2011 photo provided by Shondra Farner, a nine-foot-long American crocodile is seen laying on the bank of a lake in a gated community in St. Petersburg, Fla. While crocodiles are found in the Caribbean and South Florida, it is extremely unusual to see them in central or northern Florida. There are only 1,500 of the shy and reclusive reptiles in the state.
