'Godzilla' The 800lb Alligator Who Visited Shopping Center Sent To Reserve

An alligator dubbed Godzilla who tips the scales at more than 800lb is being taken to a gator reserve to live out his days, after being found wandering outside a Houston-area shopping center.


Godzilla was discovered on Saturday by people arriving for work at the center in Sugar Land. It’s believed he wandered over to the plaza from a nearby creek.
Christy Kroboth is licensed by the state as a “nuisance alligator trapper”. She was called to help subdue Godzilla and cart him away.
She said once he was muzzled and restrained, a forklift was borrowed from Home Depot to load him on to a truck.
Kroboth said Godzilla is blind in one eye and has only partial sight in the other. He was being taken to the reserve for his safety.
