A huge crocodile was spotted in a river in Ohio, while young children were in the water near the reptile. Writes about it Fox News.
A group of children played in the Bantas Fork River (Ohio) when one of the children noticed a shadow in the water.
“I saw a black shadow and its tail moving,” said a 10-year-old child who was playing in the water at the time.
The adults who were watching the children were standing on a bridge over the river when they saw a 7,5-foot (2,3 m) crocodile. They shouted to the children to get out of the water onto the bridge and then report their “find” to the relevant authorities.
An Ohio Department of Natural Resources officer later arrived at the scene and shot an animal that did not have a microchip or implant to track.
The crocodile weighed more than 170 pounds (77 kg), his body was taken to the Ohio Department of Agriculture for inspection.

The reptile was probably someone's exotic pet illegally kept in a state where crocodiles are not found.
“When you go out on a regular swim, you pray for the children's safety,” said Jim Haselwood, pastor of a church group that includes children. “You think a child might slip on a rock or cut their foot on glass, but you don’t think there might be crocodiles there.”
