A 77-year-old woman was woken up in the middle of the night by what she thought was an intruder - but instead found an 11ft alligator in her kitchen.

Mary Wischhusen heard a large crash at her home in Clearwater, Florida, at around 3.30am.

"I had this beautiful face staring at me as though he belonged there," she told Spectrum News.

"[He was] just laying there. It's like he made it all the way through the kitchen and he thought he was so smart."

She said she went back to her bedroom to call the police and played games on her computer to calm herself down while she waited for help to arrive.

"I was hyperventilating a little," she said.

"If the gator is deemed to be a good candidate for relocation, then the alligator will be taken to a private alligator farm in Fort Meade," the force added.

”The alligator will be taken to a private location locally to rest and recover from what the trapper described as a traumatic experience for the gator.”


Unless something has changed, the price of removing gators is that the trappers get the gator. So I think this was said to keep sensitive souls from knowing the true fate of the gator

Or knocked BACK several bottles of wine. Next it’ll be “knocked back several shots of Jack Daniel’s.”
