Alligator! Women flees home after finding unwanted visitor in her guest bedroom

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Don't be fooled by the smile: Alexis Dunbar came home to find this six-foot alligator in her guest bedroom. He also visited the bathroom during his stay


House guests are always a bit of a pain, especially if they are uninvited - and even more so if there's not a lot you can do to convince them to leave.

So spare a thought for Alexis Dunbar, who returned to her Palmetto home in Manatee County, Florida, to find a prehistoric killer making himself comfortable in her guest bedroom.

The uninvited guest was a six-foot alligator, and - despite his smile in the photos - he wasn't in the best of moods.


Injured: The gator had managed to injure himself, either outside or while trying to squeeze himself through the cat flap of Miss Dunbar's home


Miss Dunbar recalled the hair-raising incident, which began after she returned home on Saturday.

She told Bay News 9's Robert Hahn: 'I look to the right and there's an alligator in my guest bedroom.'

Miss Dunbar was not going to hang around, so immediately left the house. But she suddenly remembered her beloved pet cats.

She said: 'My cats are like my daughters. So I thought my cat was eaten. There was blood everywhere.'


Cornered: When help finallly arrived, it was a simple matter of making sure he didn't make a run for it as experts lassoed him


It turns out that the blood came from the gator itself, having either been injured outside or as he tried to squeeze himself through the cat flap of Miss Dunbar's door.

Both of her cats later emerged from their hiding places, shaken but not eaten.


Back in the great outdoors: Miss Dunbar's unwanted visitor was finally led out of the house and onto the front lawn, where he was made safe for transport
