CLEVELAND -- The Animal Protective League is more commonly known for its work with dogs and cats, but the agency rescues several other types of animals.
APL chief investigator Jed Mignano rounded up an alligator on Tuesday, NewsChannel5 reported.
A 4-foot alligator startled neighbors on Cleveland's East 151st Street and Kinsman Avenue.
The alligator was crawling through weed and wandering through back yards, causing the APL to get several calls about the reptile.
"It's a little odd and they're getting bigger," said Jed Mignano, APL chief investigator. "This one's about 4 feet."
In recent months, humane officers have rounded up five alligators.
Officials said the gator is rising in popularity because drug dealers use them to protect their stash.
WEWS reported alligators are illegal within the city's limits.
The APL plans to send the gator to the Florida Everglades after a large aquarium is found to transport him.
