An alligator that was captured by authorities in neighboring Armstrong County earlier this month has died as a result of a recent fire.
According to our news partners at WPXI-TV, a fire broke out at Nate’s Reptile Rescue in South Park Township, Allegheny County on Tuesday.
Alligator “Neo” was captured by Kiski Township Police February 10th after escaping from its owner and spending nearly a year in the Kiski River.
Neo was one of more than 70 animals to die in that fire before he could be transported to a permanent residence in Florida.
