Meet Wally, a four and-a-half foot long emotional support alligator with razor-sharp teeth who likes to make new friends. Wally belongs to Joie Henney, host of Joie Henney’s Outdoors, a hunting and fishing show that ran from 1989 until 2000 on ESPN Outdoors, Fox and other outlets.

Meanwhile, a giant 700-pound, 12-foot-long alligator was captured and pulled from a South Florida canal after residents called for help. A crane and several men were needed to lift the alligator out of the canal located near Northwest 41st Street in Doral, Fla. Homeowners in the area complained about the alligator, saying it had become a nuisance. A trapper said the alligator was definitely not one residents would want in the area, according to the report. "This is the biggest alligator ever caught in Miami-Dade County," Local 6's Jacquie Sosa said.
