TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. — A large alligator was removed from the beach along Tybee Island Thursday morning.
The 10-year-old alligator was first spotted in the water around 7:30 a.m.,according to WSAV.
People were asked to stay out of the water until trappers contained him, but that did not stop a group of people from watching and snapping pictures as professionals trapped the eight-foot-long gator.
