Officials are trying to figure out who dropped off a metre-long alligator in front of the Westchester County water department.
A sign on the wooden crate containing the green alligator warned: “Do not open. Live Gator.”
At first, workers weren't sure that it was alive because it was so still. But then it stirred.
Ed Sordellini, a machine and equipment operator said, “We tapped the crate a little and it hissed and we all jumped back.”
The workers figure it was a Halloween prank and have reached out to wildlife experts.
