A WOMAN who was confronted by a huge alligator that had wandered into her kitchen had trouble convincing emergency services it wasn’t an iguana.
US woman Sandra Frosti called 911 after finding the 2.4m alligator in the kitchen of her Florida home after investigating the source of some strange noises.
“I heard a noise from the kitchen and it was much too loud to be my cat, so I went to check it out,” Ms Frosti said.
“Much to my surprise a very large alligator was in my kitchen.”
A recording of Ms Frosti’s phone call to US emergency services number 911 has since become an internet hit.
Ms Frosti called from a phone in her bedroom, but the disbelieving operator asked if the reptile in her kitchen was actually an iguana.
“Oh-no, no, no, no, no,” Ms Frosti told the operator.
According to Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, the alligator pushed a screen door to the house open and walked into Ms Frosti’s living room.
It then walked down a hallway before reaching the kitchen.
Ms Frosti said there were indications that her cat’s life might have been at risk.
“He looked awfully well fed… the police seem to think he was checking out my cat.”
