A crocodile took a dip in a luxury hotel pool in northeastern Australia over the weekend, but failed to excite guests relaxing in the sun steps away.
Video posted on social media showed the young carnivore lying at the bottom of the pool at the Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort in Port Douglas.
“I don’t want to alarm anyone, but there’s a crocodile in the Sheraton pool,” Instagram user Lisa Keller said in a video showing the scaly predator.
A handful of tourists could be seen taking it easy on sunbeds around the edge of the pool, although no one ventured into the water.
“Not a single person cares,” Keller said.
The video matched pictures of the pool on the hotel’s website.
Hotel manager Joseph Amerio said the crocodile was discovered early on Saturday morning and the pool was cordoned off until the Queensland State Wildlife Officer removed it in the afternoon.
“At no time were guests and the baby animal in the pool at the same time,” he said.
More than 100,000 saltwater and less aggressive freshwater crocodiles are estimated to live in northern Australia.
