Animal encounters after the flood
Flood waters can turn up lots of things -- garbage, sewage, debris and even a variety of animals you might not usually see out.
According to the Texas Gator Squad, residents should expect that alligators and other animals will be displaced as rivers, creeks and bayous swell. Much like humans, the alligators are programmed to search for higher ground in the event of a flood.
A woman spotted a gator in her backyard in Sugar Land Wednesday morning.
If you encounter a gator in the water, leave it alone. Under normal circumstances, it should find its way home as water recedes. If you think the alligator poses a threat to your safety, contact authorities for further assistance.
