Officers with the City of Charleston Police Department’s Animal Control Unit wrangled a 6-foot alligator near a school last week.
"Not your everyday arrest," the Facebook post said."Check out this video of our Animal Control Unit removing an alligator outside of Daniel Island School.
Animal Control Supervisor Courtney Bayles said it's alligator mating season, which means more alligators will be out and about. Bayles explained that because it’s alligator mating season, the Charleston Police Department’s Animal Control Unit receives a higher number of calls about alligators in places such as swimming pools, porches or under cars. "As always, our ultimate goal is to safely allow these amazing creatures a safe environment and to educate the public on how to co-exist with these incredible apex predators," Bayles said.
She also reminded people to"admire alligators from a distance and never try to feed, touch or harass an alligator."Parallels of the Ark: How Noah's Journey Symbolizes Jesus
