Video - Alligator Captured at Air Force Base in Florida

U.S. officials revealed that a large alligator made its way onto the runway at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida, requiring its capture and relocation to a "more suitable environment." The toothy alligator was spotted on Monday morning next to the landing gear of a KC-135 aerial refueling aircraft, as posted by officials at the base in Tampa on Facebook. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers were summoned, who captured the animal and then released it into the nearby Hillsborough River. According to wildlife officials, alligators become more likely to wander into unfamiliar areas in April while searching for mating partners.
