On Tuesday, a stubborn alligator in Eagle Lake, Mississippi gave authorities a serious run for their money as it resisted being moved from its spot.
The giant reptile, measuring about nine feet in length, was relaxing on property owned by a couple who say this is the first gator they've seen since living there, according to Vicksburg Daily News (VDN).
The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks's (MDWFP) Lt. Lee Harvey and Warren County sheriff's deputy Johnny Beauchamp responded to the call placed at about 7:20 a.m. about a "public nuisance" gator and arrived at the scene to capture and move the reptile.
