New York City Department of Parks and Recreation employees caught the 4-foot alligator in a lake in Prospect Park after maintenance workers spotted it Sunday morning.
"One of the enforcement officers was notified about an alligator in the lake, surprisingly, on a Sunday morning, very early," Parks Ranger Sgt. Judith Velosky
New York City Department of Parks and Recreation described the alligator as"very lethargic" and"possibly cold shocked." Officials said the reptile was in poor condition, very lethargic, and possibly cold-shocked – since alligators are native to warm, tropical climates. It was taken to New York City Animal Care Control to be evaluated and treated, and then transported to the Bronx Zoo for rehabilitation.
