A 4-foot-long alligator was found in a New York City park Sunday, according to city officials, and has since been transported to a nearby zoo.
The alligator was found in a lake at Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation said.
The animal was first spotted Sunday morning by park maintenance staff, who then alerted the department’s Parks Enforcement Patrol and Urban Park Rangers.
“We’re grateful to our Parks Enforcement Patrol and Urban Park Rangers who snapped into action to capture and transport the alligator,” the parks department said in a statement. “Thankfully no one was harmed and the animal is being evaluated.
