Did you realize we actually have alligators in Michigan? It's true.

Residents in Riverview, Michigan, were more than surprised to find a baby alligator walking around one of their neighborhoods.

Police were called to the scene and discovered a 2-foot-long alligator on the street. The department reports that they captured the alligator and gave him (or her) to a local reptile expert for safe keeping.

What would you do if you found an alligator walking through your streets? I'd run.

Not related, but here's a video of a Florida woman finding an alligator in her kitchen!
