An alligator so huge that is has been likened to a dinosaur had to be removed with a tow truck after it snuck into an residential area.
The 'dinosaur' alligator' - believed to be over 12ft long - was spotted in the streets of Atascocita, Texas, US, in the early hours of September 19.
Officers were immediately called to the scene after stunned locals saw the gator patrolling the streets.
