Another alligator that somehow made its way to an area of water in Western Pennsylvania is now captured safely.  WTAE-TV reports officers with the Beaver Valley Regional Police Department were called to a creek in Freedom yesterday after somebody spotted the animal.  Authorities believe the small, two-and-a-half-foot-long gator was a pet that either got loose or was released by its owner.  Staff at the Off the Hook pet shop in Ambridge are taking care of the animal.  Multiple alligator sightings were reported along the Kiski River last year, including one gator that was captured and nicknamed “Chomper”, and another named Neo that reportedly escaped from its owner.
