LOS FRESNOS, Texas - A large alligator who had clearly been through it was recently found lounging in the backyard pool of a South Texas home.

"Gator Jake" Reinbolt, of the South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center, said he was called to the home in Los Fresnos on July 28 about a 6- to 8-foot alligator.

Photos showed the massive reptile enjoying the pool before Reinbolt and his colleague were able to trap him.
