JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. — Visitors at a Jekyll Island hotel got a big surprise when a gator was found hanging out underneath a car.
The Georgia Department of Public Safety said troopers were called to the hotel on Saturday morning when the 10–11-foot gator was spotted.
GSP said the gator was eventually relocated to a pond by wildlife officials.
“Crowd control, lifting assistance, and unexpected reptile wrangling services were provided by GSP free of charge,” GSP said in a Facebook post.
