Alligator takes a dip in Lithia resident's pool

In Florida, it's probably a good idea to thoroughly check all corners of your swimming pool before diving in — you never know when an alligator may be waiting for you at the bottom.

LITHIA, Fla. — One Florida family got an extra visitor in their pool Wednesday morning: a 8-foot alligator was soaking up the sun in their pool.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office tweeted out the photo after the family found a gator hanging out in the pool.

Officials say a trapper is en route to remove the pool.

Only in Florida.
