Small alligator rescued in Boston after slithering into the city's heart on social media

BOSTON (AP) — Wildlife officials say a small alligator spotted along the Charles River in Boston this week has been rescued and delivered to safety. The foot-long crocodilian became an instant star on social media as it slithered away from startled and confused onlookers. Officials say a local wildlife educator captured the critter on Wednesday night, and it’s now awaiting a permanent home. The officials say the animal was most likely an escaped pet, although it's not legal to keep alligators as pets in Massachusetts. Alligators have a history of occasionally showing up in urban areas, as in 2010, when one showed up on the Charles River.
