A 12-foot-long alligator found in a drainage ditch in Mont Belvieu, Texas, was removed with the use of a grapple truck claw before being relocated by the state game warden.
What happens when animal control and a public works department come together to remove a massive reptile? A grapple truck gets involved. The City of Mont Belvieu in Texas recruited Public Works to remove a 12-foot-long alligator that was found in a ditch along Eagle Drive, the city's Facebook page posted.
In the now-trending video, the large reptile can be seen lifted in the air via the claw on the Public Works grapple truck. 'On Monday, June 3, one of our Mont Belvieu Police Department officers spotted a large alligator in a shallow drainage ditch along Eagle Dr.,' Brian Ligon, communications and marketing director for the City of Mont Belvieu, told Fox News Digital via email.
See ya later, alligator!' the city posted on Facebook. 'It was truly a team effort today as Public Works used their grapple truck to assist Animal Control in removing this 12 ft. gator from a ditch along Eagle Drive. Great grab, guys!' The state's game warden was eventually called to help with the reptile's removal from the area.
