The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has trapped and relocated an alligator that had been in a Brandon neighborhood retention pond with its mouth taped shut since December. 

A Brandon woman noticed an alligator with its snout tapped shut in December. She has been trying to get the gator help for weeks.

The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office said a man was bitten by an alligator early Tuesday morning after he mistook the animal for a dog. FWC said a trapper later removed a 7’1” alligator from the property.

A possible attack by a gator is believed to have killed a man in Largo Tuesday morning, according to the Largo Police Department.

There are several things you should keep in mind as the weather warms and alligators begin their mating season.

The alligator is believed to have snuck in through the laundry room before getting trapped inside the home and taking up residence in the master bedroom.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reports that alligators can be found living in all 67 counties in the state.
