Before sunrise, a Florida homeowner received a jarring Ring notification: a massive alligator was paddling around the backyard pool.
Police in Venice said the reptile measured more than 9 feet and got into the area by breaking through the home’s screened pool enclosure, calling it “forced entry.”
What happened?
According to WFLA, the alert came just before 6 a.m., when a homeowner in Venice’s Toscana Isles community discovered a 9-foot-4-inch alligator in the pool.
Police said the gator had “forced entry,” breaking through the home’s screened pool enclosure before ending up in the water. A trapper from Florida’s nuisance-alligator program later removed the animal.
