An alligator believed to have been stolen as an egg 20 years ago has been returned to a Texas zoo.
The eight-foot gator, named Tewa, was found in someone's garden near Austin, where she was confiscated as the 'owner' didn't have any of the right permits.

“[They] actually kept this as a pet for at least 20 years now.”
