Trapper Called to School to Capture Alligator on the Loose

An alligator measuring almost 10 feet in length was captured on March 17 after being discovered at the Geneva Classical Academy in Lakeland, Florida. School administrators called in a professional trapper to safely capture the reptile on the school lawn as students and faculty watched. This compilation of footage recorded at the school shows the trapper kneeling on the alligator’s head as he prepares to bind the animal’s mouth shut. Credit: YouTube/Mary Cummins
