EL PASO, Texas -- KFOX has a picture proving alligators live in the Rio Grande.

The Texas Game Warden Ray Spears said they are just east of Fort Hancock in Hudspeth County and there isn't just one or two of them.

“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,” Spears said.

Spears said people have nothing to fear with these alligators especially since they are in a rural area. He believes someone dropped them off in the area.

There is a chance the alligators could reproduce, but the warden said they will be monitoring the alligators to make sure there is no present danger.
