9-foot alligator removed from flooded Texas home

— -- An unwelcome guest was found in a Texas home left flooded by Harvey: a 9-foot alligator.

The Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office said after an intruder call was reported at a residence near Lake Houston, deputies arrived at the home to find the large gator inside.

In ABC Houston station KTRK's video of gator's removal, it took several officers to hold the 9-foot gator as they took the animal out of the house and placed it in the back of a vehicle.

Constables will deliver the gator back to its natural habitat, the constable's office said.
