PM and firefighters are called to rescue an alligator, but the animal was for decoration

The Environmental Military Police and the Fire Department were called this Monday (April 1st) to rescue an alligator inside a residential condominium in Vespasiano, in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte. Condominium employees carried out the patrol, saw the animal measuring approximately 1 meter standing in a garden and called the police and firefighters.

The curious thing is that when firefighters went to capture the animal, soldiers realized that, in fact, it was a garden decoration object. The item was described as “extremely realistic” by the Fire Department.

The person responsible for the decoration would be a biologist, who makes replicas of various animals as a hobby. The situation was resolved on the spot and the incident ended.
