Angel Breytenbach is an Australian living with her partner in the North West.
Australia is also known for its fair share of crazy wildlife stories and incidents; however, nothing can prepare you for this kind of encounter.
In 2021, Breytenbach posted a video on TikTok that has recently reemerged and gone viral.

According to Breytenbach, who can be heard talking in the video, she woke up one morning to find a crocodile chilling in her pool.
The video shows the crocodile at the bottom of the pool, without a single care in the world, while volunteers try their best to grab the croc and remove it from the pool.

Many viewers had questions about the incident, but others chose to see the humorous side of things:
- "I thought perhaps Kreepy Krauly had a new model out..."
- "Mom!! can we keep it?"
- "En ek het gedink die padda in my swembad was 'n probleem."
She also shared a video showing the croc making its way into her pool, where it proceeded to relax for a few hours:
