Watch | Alligator found outside shopping center in US

An alligator dubbed Godzilla who tips the scales at more than 800 pounds is being taken to a gator reserve to live out its days, after being found wandering outside a Houston-area shopping center.

Godzilla was discovered Saturday by people arriving for work at the center in Sugar Land. It's believed he wandered over to the plaza from a nearby creek. Christy Kroboth is licensed by the state as a “nuisance alligator trapper.” She was called to help subdue Godzilla and cart him away.

Kroboth says Godzilla is blind in one eye and has only partial sight in the other. He's going to the reserve for his safety.
