Someone needs to be sure that it isn't a caiman lizard which closely resembles an alligator, especially when young. They can be found in some pet shops. They don't grow as large but can still be a worry. I fear that the zoo won't take the critter as they usually don't have room for additional animals. Maybe they will now that there has been a lot of press on this one. Hopefully, it can go to a rescue league or something. It appears it has been a pet and certainly can't be released into the wold - no matter which species it may be.
