An 800-pound alligator dubbed "Godzilla" was found wandering outside a Houston-area shopping center. He is blind in one eye and only has partial sight in the other. It is believed that he wandered there from a nearby creek. Christy Kroboth, a licensed “nuisance alligator trapper,” was brought in to subdue him. Godzilla was muzzled, restrained loaded onto a truck using a forklift that was borrowed from Home Depot. He is being taken to a gator reserve. [Additional reporting by The Associated Press]
