PLANT CITY, Fla., April 4 (UPI) — Authorities in Florida shared a photo of a resident’s heart-stopping discovery — a 9-foot alligator propping itself up against his front door.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said on Twitter Friday a Plant City man called 911 on March 27 to report the large gator was camped out on his front porch.
Sheriff’s deputies arrived at the home with a licensed trapper and snapped a picture of the alligator climbing the porch stairs and propping itself up against the man’s front door.
The alligator, initially estimated by the homeowner to be about 8-feet long, measured a more impressive 9-feet 5-inches long.
