Last weekend I was fishing a public pond, caught nothing, watched some carp jumping, nothing special. Then i got home, and realized that they had found a caiman in a pond connected to the one that I was fishing! Someone had it as a pet and then released it. Scary stuff...

 

Here's the link to the story:

YIKESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think you were in any peril.

 

And it would have been outstanding if you had actually seen the reptile and snapped a photo.

 

Even better if you had gotten in the water and snapped the pic!

 

Glad the animal was rescued as we would not want it to either get frozen in the water this winter or eat a hockey player skating on the ice!

No peril, just a 'yikes' moment.

That's part of living in the outdoors in south Florida. We have a lot of idiots that will buy these exotic animals and turn them loose when they too big. We have a serious Python problem with thousands in the glades up to 20 feet long. They have found a six foot Nile Crock in a Miami park. All kinds of nasty fish, spider monkeys, lemurs, monitor lizards. A telephone lineman got bit by a green mamba in Broward County, and a king cobra was caught in Homestead. They all do well when released since we are in the tropics. A lot of these animal were released when hurricane Andrew flatten about 50 square miles of South Florida.

He was only 30" long...Scary? I know it sure would be confusing to see one as far north as you are! I caught a tropical cichlid in a local reservoir one time that someone released, people are so dumb sometimes.

I know, someone released like 6 tilapia in the same pond. I keep wondering if they are still In there.
