A fisherman on the Tennessee River made a wild discovery over the weekend.
Rhea County, tenn. Wildlife Officer Burton Capps says he shot and killed this 5-foot alligator in Rhea County Sunday.
He says he killed it so it couldn't attack others.
Officer Capps says he got a call around 3:30 from a fisherman who spotted the reptile lying on a log. Capps said he didn't believe it until he saw it himself.
He suspects the alligator was a pet that someone released in to the wild.
