A second alligator is reportedly on the loose in Manhattan.
According to Manhattan Parks and Recreation, an alligator was seen Wednesday evening on Linear Trail along Wildcat Creek between South Manhattan Ave. and Pecan Circle.
This alligator is not believed to be one of the two stolen from Manhattan Reptile World in June.
Multiple media outlets are reporting that Colin Cudney, owner of Manhattan Reptile World, believes the alligator that was recently seen is smaller than Beauregard, one of the two alligators stolen from Manhattan Reptile World that is still believed to be on the loose.
Pebbles, the other alligator stolen from Manhattan Reptile World, died inside a trap in June.
Beauregard is believed to be about 5 feet long while the one spotted on Wednesday is around 3 feet long.
Cudney reportedly does not believe the latest alligator sighting is part of an infestation, saying those that were seen likely won’t survive through autumn.
Further details are pending from Manhattan animal control.
