Bats in your belfry? How about gators in your living room?
(snip)


A living room full of animals

Looking down during the day, they saw a number of animals in the living room, including snakes, a deer and a bat.

“It was just a zoo,” Boelte said by phone.

In the middle of the night the family was awakened by the screaming of a deer, which they assumed had fallen through the weakened floor to its death.

But the next day, when Boelte and her father gingerly walked down the decrepit staircase to see if they could rescue any keepsakes, they came face to tail with an alligator “with the biggest belly I ever saw.”

2. On my side of town in Tulsa
A guy once woke up early Saturday morning, started to step out onto his porch in his pajamas to go get the paper, and almost stepped on a full grown alligator sunning himself on the porch. Apparently it had been living in a nearby creek (close to my house) after being released by or escaping from someone who was raising it illegally and needed some warming up.

Tulsa Zoo came and got it.
