An alligator trapper is warning people to be careful after a 9’4' alligator was caught roaming around Howard Avenue early Wednesday morning.
police captured the large reptile on Howard Avenue near Kathleen Street, which is just north of Columbus Drive.
Captain Phil Walters, a contracted alligator trapper, who hauled the animal away, believes it came from the Hillsborough River because there is a creek that leads from the river to Howard Avenue. He says alligator mating season is right around the corner and he expects them to be very active over the next couple of months. Captain Walters added that over the past week he’s had 10 gators in the back of his truck.
Anyone who sees an alligator that is out of place is asked to contact Florida Fish and Wildlife at 866- 492-4288.that I have read and agree
