(Tribune News Service) — In South Florida, surprise visitors can crawl on their bellies.

And wear out their welcome.

Naval Air Station Key West had to remove a stubborn crocodile from its airfield on Boca Chica Key recently. The croc was photographed basking in the spring sunshine with a Super Hornet fighter jet in the background.

“This airfield resident was soaking up some sun on one of our runways recently and didn’t want to budge,” NAS wrote in a Facebook post Monday.
