Guests at the Budget Host Travelers Motel in Alexandria, Virginia, were startled to find a 6-foot alligator relaxing outside a room. The reptile had slipped away from its owner during a journey from New York to a North Carolina zoo, turning the motel's parking lot into an impromptu swamp scene.

The unexpected visitor prompted a swift response from Fairfax County Police and Animal Protection officers, who recaptured the alligator and escorted both it and its owner out of the county. Virginia's strict laws against possessing exotic animals underscore the challenges of transporting such creatures across state lines.

This incident adds to a series of unusual alligator encounters in unexpected places, including a 3-foot gator found in a Michigan motel room and another swimming in an Atlantic City motel pool.
