It’s no croc: Dangerous reptile found in pond
WHITE RIVER TOWNSHIP, Ind. — Wildlife officials say a 4 1/2-foot-long alligator found near an upscale subdivision in Johnson County is most likely an abandoned pet.
“A lot of people just find out that an alligator is more trouble when it’s getting to be 3 or 4 feet long than it was when it was just a few inches,” said Russ Grunden, Indiana Department of Natural Resources spokesman, adding that his office fields about two calls a year on live alligators.
“It’s not unusual for it to happen around the state from time to time,” he said.
