Joey Quinlan who lives with his relatives in New Tampa Florida was shocked to learn that his next door neighbor contacted him by knocking on his front door on Saturday that a seven foot alligator underneath his Toyota pickup truck.
Joey who has been living in the New Tampa area for three and a half years after he and his family used to live in Illinois was surprised that an alligator came to visit his home since there are no ponds in his neighborhood.
Joey did learn that the proper method of dealing with alligators in his home is to call a wildlife officer who came to his home and remove the alligator to a safe area away from his residence.

I am in agreement with you since wildlife officers are able to take away the alligators and move them to a safe space without harming them.

@Deepizzaguy that is true. They are called wild for a reason

That is true since in Florida it is forbidden to kill an alligator unless it is self defense.

It seems that alligators must be able to move a fair distance away from water.
On researching this, they can travel up to 10 kilometres (6 miles) away from water in search of food.
It's good it was relocated without anyone getting hurt.

I did not know that alligators could travel long distances.
