"Alligator under car in driveway looking for some shade on this sunny day. I thought I was gonna have the day off but alligators come first. Thank you Jeffrey Bell with Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office for helping on the catch," the post said.

Bell posted a second photo of the alligator from a second angle, while residents posted photos of the trapper posing with the captured reptile.

The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office expressed sympathy for the gator in a Facebook post.

"Aren't we all looking for some shade today?" the post read.
