Officials from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources are trying to catch an alligator that was spotted in a retention pond at a subdivision in WL. The reptile is about two-feet-long.
An eight-year-old boy spotted it while he was fishing in the pond over the weekend.
D-N-R officials and the owner of a local exotic animal sanctuary went out in a boat to try to catch the gator using raw chicken as bait. The gator didn't bite.
D-N-R spokesman Matt Tholen says officials caught the gator at about 10:15 pm Monday and says the alligator likely could have survived until winter.
