SARASOTA, FLORIDA — A Florida family had an unexpected visitor drop by their pool on Memorial Day — a 7-foot alligator. <br /> <br />The Sarasota County Sheriff’s office got a call on Monday after a family found a big old alligator chilling in their pool, according to USA Today. <br /> <br />A young lady cleaning the family’s pool made the 911 call. <br /> <br />“Luckily, these homeowners took a second look this morning before jumping in to kick off their Memorial Day,” the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post. <br /> <br />Deputy Lori Clark was the first on scene and got some face time with the uninvited pool pal. <br /> <br /> <br />The alligator was around seven to eight feet long. <br /> <br />Authorities then called a trapper who was able to get the gator out of the water so it could be moved to a “more appropriate location,” the post said. <br /> <br /> <br />Video of the incident shows the gator thrashing around violently and performing death rolls to try to get loose from the trapper’s noose.
