Martin Brenner, a resident of the city of New Smyrna Beach, in the state of Floridahe never imagined even in his worst nightmares that he would encounter a alligator of three meters (10 feet) long in the pool of his house, but that was precisely what happened early this Tuesday morning.
The unusual thing, according to the owner of the home located in the Venetian Bay community, was the surprising way in which he entered: “It didn’t tear anything or do any damage, it just pushed the piece of protective mesh”reported News 6.
Brenner said that at 2:00 am, his dog woke him up barking at the pool and at that moment they saw the alligator that “I was stretched out across the pool”, in his own words.
“We couldn’t figure out what would have attracted it, but we have a small cat that had come out and we don’t know if that was the cause,” said the bewildered Floridian.
When Brenner realized that The huge reptile would not leave the comfort of the poolhad to call the police, who showed up with trappers and members of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).
“They had to use a stick to get the alligator outbut finally they were able to take him,” he told News 6.
“We all had to go in and try to lift it,” he finally said.
The City of New Smyrna Beach Police Department stated in Facebook what “This crocodile made himself at home overnight in Venetian Bay”, and at the same time noted: “Don’t let the angle fool you, it was about 10 feet long!”
In Florida, people find alligators in the least suspected places.
The high temperatures that the state is experiencing these days left a funny scene: a small baby alligator taking a dip in a fountain by himself of water from a park.
The incident occurred at a community fountain in Palm Beach Gardens, in Palm Beach County, according to reports. Telemundo 51.
Also last April, a video captured how an alligator climbs a fence in an attempt to reach the water.
