A large alligator caused a stir at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida when it ventured onto the runway and ended up next to a KC-135 aerial refueling aircraft. The sighting of the toothy reptile prompted officials at the base in Tampa to take action.
Authorities from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission were called in to handle the situation. They successfully captured the alligator and later released it into the nearby Hillsborough River.
