We all know that alligators are native to this part of the country but that doesn't mean we want them in our yards or roaming around town. The Texarkana Texas Police were a bit shocked to receive a call about a gator in the St. Michael Drive area the other day.

The Texarkana Texas Police posted on their Facebook page they received a call about an alligator on a property on St. Michael Drive.

They stated they were having a difficult time as the alligator didn't want to cooperate with their plans to trap it with the help of a Game Warden.

Fortunately, they were able to capture it and the Game Warden relocated it. They stated it was relocated far from town. Let's just hope it is really, really far from town like in Florida.

They posted,

 

At one point, Officer Dewey Fleming discovered just how fast he could move when the alligator suddenly expressed his displeasure and lunged at him. 😁
Thankfully, we were able to eventually corral it with the help of a game warden, who loaded it up and relocated it to a more suitable location far, far, far away from town.
Hopefully, it’ll be a while before we have another alligator call. Lol

This one looks like a young gator so the big question is ... where's the mother?

We see signs about alligators in Bringle Lake and I've heard of a few sightings of alligators at Wright Patman Lake. Around this area most lakes and rivers have alligators. They are in a lot of Arkansas and Texas lakes...Let's just pray they don't overpopulate any time soon.

Some Alligators In Arkansas You Can Touch - Most You Can't

If you're looking for a great day trip for the whole family may I recommend a fun outing at the Alligator Farm & Petting Zoo in Hot Springs, Arkansas? My wife has been visiting this fun attraction since she was a little girl, we manage to get around to seeing it every couple of years or so and for the most part, it stays pretty much the same, but it's always fun to pet a baby gater.

Because the regulation of exotic animals is left to states, some organizations, including The Humane Society of the United States, advocate for federal, standardized legislation that would ban owning large cats, bears, primates, and large poisonous snakes as pets.

Read on to see which pets are banned in your home state, as well as across the nation.
