Florida Woman Discovers 8-Foot Alligator in Home

Local authorities and wildlife officers collaborate to safely remove the unexpected visitor.

A Florida woman encountered a nearly 8-foot-long alligator in her Venice home, prompting a 911 call for assistance.
The alligator, measuring 7 feet 11 inches, had to cross two yards and a street before entering the house through a screen door.
Sarasota County sheriff's deputies and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers worked together to safely remove the alligator.
The incident occurred on March 28 and has since gained attention on social media.
Experts note that April marks the start of alligator courtship season, possibly explaining the reptile's unusual behavior.
