Texas wildlife officials say there are six alligators living in the Rio Grande, east of Fort Hancock in Hudspeth County.
There were approximately six alligators that were observed, three of them that were in the 2- to 4-foot range, and about three of them in the 5- to 6-foot range,
Texas Game Warden Ray Spears told KFOX-TV, El Paso, Texas.
Spears said the alligators are in a rural area, so they don't pose much danger to humans. He said it is believed they were dropped off in the area by someone who was previously keeping them.
The warden said his office will be monitoring the alligators to keep people safe and to see if the animals reproduce in the river.
