Aug. 12 (UPI) -- An alligator spotted swimming in a Pennsylvania lake was captured by a Florida sanctuary operator who happened to be in town at the time.
Ricky Sanchez was fishing from his kayak in Bucks County's Magnolia Lake when he hooked an unexpected catch.
"I hooked onto something and I brought it closer and I was like, 'Oh no, that's a gator. That's definitely a gator. That cannot be here," Sanchez told WPVI-TV.
Sanchez's video, which shows the moment the small alligator broke the fishing line and fled, was posted to social media by the Bristol Township Police Department.
"We have notified the Wildlife and Game Commission, who will be addressing this situation," the post said. "Please use caution and avoid using the creek until it's safe."
