On normal days, people do not expend to find an alligator in their homes. However, a woman from Canada recently spotted a giant alligator in the staircase of her building and immediately dialled the police for help. Calling the police emergency number for help, she informed them about the presence of an alligator. After examining the complaint, it turned out that the giant reptile that horrified the Canadian woman was nothing but a fake replica.

Jason Doucette, a community police officer with Vancouver Police Department, who was handling the woman's complaint, took to his Twitter account to share the 'hysterical' incident. He uploaded a picture of the golden alligator replica as he mentioned his relief at the sight of the fake reptile. Along with the post, he mentioned how the officers called him up at 7 am in the morning mentioning the incident where the woman had come face to face with an alligator, which was earlier found to be a 'realistic fake' dummy. 

Since the incident was revealed on Twitter, it has evoked many hilarious reactions among the Twitterati.

One user mentioned "Now that is funny. (Not for the poor resident!)" while another made a sarcastic comment stating "Someone is missing their gold alligator. I hope the resident is doing okay after you arrived?".
