They say it was kept in a backyard for " many years" about 50 miles from The Zoo . The homeowner lacked the necessary permits to keep it so it was confiscated.
The person, who has not been identified, has been issued with two citations.
The Zoo saying Tewa was being introduced to The Other alligators and will Live Out her life at the facility.
They added that she has adapted well to her new environment since being returned to The Zoo .
