Robin Underwood of Rockledge opened the garage door of her Glenbrook Circle home and spotted a baby alligator in between her cars.

She jumped back and called authorities.

The nearly 2-foot-long gator hid in the back of the garage until a trapper arrived.

"It was really scared," Underwood said. "It kept hissing when anyone got close to it.​"

Underwood thinks the gator came from a retention pond behind her home.

The trapper took the baby gator to a nearby wildlife area where it was released.
