The alligators measured in size between approximately two and two and a half feet long.
Like most cities, San Bernardino considers alligators exotic animals, which are not permitted under the municipal code.

The alligators were taken to San Bernardino’s city animal shelter and eventually placed in an animal sanctuary, with the help of U.S. Fish and Wildlife.
Forever Wild Exotic Animal Sanctuary in Phelan said that they are “happy to report that the alligators are doing well.”
