House guests are always a bit of a pain, especially if they are uninvited – and even more so if there’s not a lot you can do to convince them to leave.
So spare a thought for Alexis Dunbar, who returned to her Palmetto home in Manatee County, Florida, to find a prehistoric killer making himself comfortable in her guest bedroom.
The uninvited guest was a six-foot alligator, and – despite his smile in the photos – he wasn’t in the best of moods.
Miss Dunbar recalled the hair-raising incident, which began after she returned home on Saturday.
She told Bay News 9’s Robert Hahn: ‘I look to the right and there’s an alligator in my guest bedroom.’
Miss Dunbar was not going to hang around, so immediately left the house. But she suddenly remembered her beloved pet cats.
She said: ‘My cats are like my daughters. So I thought my cat was eaten. There was blood everywhere.’
