Alligator named Ferdinand recovered during eviction process at Philadelphia home
An alligator is safe in an animal shelter after it was recovered from a Philadelphia home during an eviction.
ACCT Philly says the alligator, originally named "Chompy," was in a home on the 2500 block of Cumberland Street. Workers were able to get him out of the house, and he is now headed to a rescue in Florida.
The gator's name has been changed to Ferdinand.
A Husky named Gia was also recovered from the home.
ACCT Philly says they've seen an unusually high number of exotic animals this week, including a blue-tongued skink, a pheasant and two quail.
