Watch: Huge crocodile with police escort shuts down streets in South Florida

A huge crocodile got a police escort early Tuesday morning as it took a stroll through the streets of Cutler Bay, Florida in Miami-Dade County.

The reptile strutted its stuff through the rain, beginning around 3:30 a.m., as Cutler Bay police officers closed off nearby streets and called the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for help, the Miami Herald reported.

Turns out the early-riser was an endangered species, a saltwater crocodile, so officials let it meander on until it found a comfy lake to slide into.

Of course, it’s not uncommon for crocodiles, or alligators, to find their way onto the steamy streets of Florida.

Just a few weeks ago on Sept. 11, a driver in Geneva, northeast of Orlando, was shocked while watching an alligator cross the street.
