The 15-foot, 1,000-pound reptile was spotted lurking in Azalea Park on Sunday, causing panic among visitors. Residents reported seeing the alligator stalking children and adults, forcing them to retreat to higher ground. Park rangers and animal control officers responded promptly, but the alligator initially evaded capture. After several hours of tracking, they managed to corner the beast in a secluded corner of the park. With the help of a specialized capture team, the alligator was tranquilized and hoisted onto a flatbed truck. It was then transported to a nearby wildlife sanctuary, where it will receive medical attention and undergo a behavioral assessment. “We’re relieved to have this dangerous animal out of the park,” said park spokesperson John Smith. “The safety of our visitors is our top priority.” Local residents expressed gratitude to authorities for their swift action. “It’s a huge relief to know that this alligator is no longer roaming free,” said resident Mary Jones. “We can now enjoy the park without fear.” Experts believe the alligator may have wandered into the park from a nearby bayou. It is not uncommon for alligators to venture into populated areas during mating season, which typically occurs in the spring and summer months. Authorities are urging residents to be cautious and report any alligator sightings in populated areas. They recommend staying away from the animals, as they are powerful predators and can be aggressive if provoked.
