Alligator
Sneaks through Pet Flap Door & Makes Himself At Home
FLORIDA
- An alligator
sneaked through a pet flap and settled down on the floor of a Florida
bedroom.
When Felipe Barrera
woke up he thought the shape was their family dog. But when it started
hissing he realised it was a three-foot alligator.
It has now been
released into a nearby lake.
"I started
to walk into the living room and that's when it started to hiss at me,"
said Mr Barrera.
His wife Cindy added:
"That's just not one of those things you expect to find when you
get up in the morning. It's just one of those one-in-a-million things."
The family believe
the alligator got into their Winter Haven home by slithering under the
garage door, which they usually keep raised a few inches for their two
cats. It must then have crawled through a pet flap in the kitchen door.
Mr Barrera called
the state Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission who sent a trapper
to the house. He caught the alligator with a noose and released it into
the lake, reports myCFnow.com website.
A spokesman said
the alligator may have become disoriented while looking for new territory.
