A City Put Fake Alligators in a Lake and Received Multiple 911 Calls
A City Put Fake Alligators in a Lake and Received Multiple 911 Calls

Multiple people in Mesa, Arizona called 911 the other day to report ALLIGATORS swimming around a lake in a city park.

It’s the type of thing that sounds like a prank, but if anything, the city was pranking THEM.

Turns out city officials recently added some realistic FOAM alligators to the lake for birds and turtles to sit on.

A few of the 911 callers were fully convinced they were real though.  One woman even claimed a gator latched onto her boyfriend’s fishing line.

Despite the confusion, it doesn’t sound like the city plans to remove them anytime soon.  They actually just doubled down and added two fake HIPPOS.

They’re Styrofoam hippo heads that float around.  So it looks like they’re lurking under the water, about to attack.

Here’s one of the 911 calls
