NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) -

Mt. Vernon Police say a 2-foot long alligator living in a pond inside Wilson’s Woods Park was caught and taken to a reptile rehabilitation preserve in Massachusetts.

The alligator was caught by police and officers from the NY Environmental Conservation Police on Friday. According to police, the reptile had been seen lurking around the park last week.

A pedestrian took a picture of the alligator before police searched the park for about an hour before finding him.

Authorities don’t know how long the alligator had been at the park but believe the reptile was dumped there after he became too big to handle.

1. By fall, he would have been hanging out with the wrong element, in the sewers

2. I am glad they caught in time. I have never seen one in the flesh.

3. We spent whole summers hanging around that "pond"...

... when I was a kid. (in the 60s.)

Saw lots of dead fish. Occasionally a live one or two. ( I guess they meandered down from upstate via the Hutchinson River.) And lots of industrial goo pooling and coagulating in random spots all over the place. We never tried it, but you probably could set fire to the water in a lot of spots if you tossed in a lighted match.

It's incredible how much lethal pollution from that era has been cleaned up thru big-gov't ,leftwing , meddlesome regulation.

Now it looks like the "rez" , as we called it , can sustain tropical, carnivorous reptiles.

What hath creepin' socialism wrought!
