You’ve heard of an alligator in the elevator , but how about the alligator in the kitchen?
That’s what one Florida resident experienced firsthand recently when a nearly 8-foot alligator barged into her home and got stuck in her kitchen.
It’s officially alligator matin g season , so the giant reptiles are traveling far and wide, showing up in pools, golf courses and apparently, as dinner guests.
Mary Hollenback of Venice, Florida told USA TODAY that she thought it was a neighbor accidentally coming in her house when the screen door rattled on March 28.
“So I come around the corner expecting to tell somebody they were in the wrong place,” she said in an interview. “And, lo and behold, there’s an alligator at my front door!”
