This undated photo, provided by Tony Cavallaro , shows his 750-pound alligator, Albert , in Cavallaro 's personal enclosure, in Hamburg, NY. Cavallaro , whose alligator Albert was seized, is suing the state Department of Environmental Conservation in an effort to get him back, saying the agency was wrong not to renew a license for the pet he'd raised for more than 30 years. BUFFALO, N.Y.

“We’re hoping that he will get his license to have the animal reinstated, and from there we'd like to either negotiate or litigate to have the animal brought back to Mr. Cavallaro because we feel that he should have had a valid license at the time, as he’d had for the last 30 years,” Kooshoian said. Cavallaro bought the American alligator at an Ohio reptile show in 1990 when Albert was two months old. He considers him an emotional support animal and “gentle giant."
