Caiman captured in Toronto pond

[Catherine]

I can't really call it a rescue because the little guy looked very much at home in a Toronto pond. Of course winter would be another story.
Think of it more as rescuing the city from the caiman.

It has been exciting listening to the story develop. They had enough sense to bring in a reptile expert to grab him. They do have very sharp teeth.

Sadly the caiman is someone's pet that was released into the pond. It could have ended badly for him. Hopefully he ate a lot of the carp that shouldn't be in the pond in the first place.
For some reason people think of High Park as a good place to release unwanted pets. There are always pet bunnies and guinea pigs and of course turtles being rescued. The caiman is a first and I do hope the last.
