An eight-foot alligator stolen as an egg from a Texas zoo and kept as a pet 20 years ago has been returned to the zoo.

Animal World & Snake Farm Zoo said that they believe the huge creature was taken by a person who had been a volunteer.

Officials discovered the animal in a woman's garden while investigating possible hunting without a landowner's permission.

Footage from Texas Game Wardens shows officials relocating the reptile, named Tewa, to her former home.
