Danger! Danger! Danger!
She's a beauty, eh?
Crocus, a 2-foot pet alligator escaped from his backyard enclosure, but was captured by a girl who used what she learned on a nature TV program.Either Steve Irwin makes it look a lot harder than it actually is, or his TV show endangered this girl's life. Granted, a 2 ft. croc is not that big, but this is a little girl, and 2 ft is big enough to take a hand.
Nicki Hilliard and several friends saw the animal swimming in the Allegheny River.
Hilliard said she learned how to catch the animals safely by watching the television show "Crocodile Hunter." The secret is to grab the animal's snout and hold its mouth closed.
