Looks like an alligator to me. Crocs have a pointier and more rough "bumby" head. Prefer more copastal areas than Sebring and rahter brackish or salt water. Sebring's water is very fresh. Check out the wiki on American Cros. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_crocodile Crocs are likely in the far southern florida area of the Everglades. Everglade City. Very agressive, too.
