'Call 911!' he screamed. When the local police arrived, they called an animal trapper to pull the 11-foot creature out of the pool.

The alligator was struggling as it was bound by a rope and controlled by two men. But finally, it was carried away safely.

The police officers posted photos and a video about the incident online with the caption: 'Just when you think your #TweetFromTheBeat is off to a slow start... you get a call for a #Gator in a swimming pool.'

But where did the giant monster come from? The homeowner believes it may due to the low water levels in local lagoons.
