Alligators are most likely the work of someone released into the lake as the Alligators are not native to the lake.

The signage was also kept for public awareness and safety according to the officials.

Police inform the tourists visiting the park to report immediately if they see any alligator and use caution.

This is not the first time Alligators have shown up in Michigan. There are several reports of sighting the alligators in Kent Lake at Kensington Metropark.

The public is also being urged by Huron-Clinton Metroparks not to bring pets or wildlife into the parks or lakes. Officials believe the potential alligator was a pet that was let loose into the lake because alligators are not native to Michigan and are often found in warmer climates like the Southeast of the United States. Alligators are typically found in areas close to the Gulf of Mexico and in places like Georgia and the Carolinas that border the Atlantic Ocean.

No law prohibits keeping alligators in Michigan. Call 810-227-8910, the Metroparks Police, as soon as you spot the alligator.
