The gator, which has been named ” Big Jasper,” was removed from the East Texas lake by Sam Rayburn Lake Rangers and Texas Game Wardens from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department after he was deemed a nuisance.

Following his removal, Jasper was transferred to the Gator Country rescue in Beaumont, which serves as a home for various alligators and reptiles to live out their days in peace.
