A massive alligator was seen taking a leisurely stroll through a Texas neighborhood. Fox News reported that emergency personnel and wildlife services were called to detain the animal. When wildlife services arrived, they found a 400-pound, 11-foot alligator strolling in the grass near a road in Katy.
Fort Bend County Precinct 1 Constable Chad Norvel told the Houston Chronicle, "This morning around 7:40 a.m. dispatch received calls that an alligator was walking along Peek Road about 50 or 60 yards south of Buffalo Bayou. He was caught by licensed trappers from Texas Parks and Wildlife and is being taken to a sanctuary in El Campo."
