A grapple truck rescued a 12ft-long alligator stuck in a ditch in Texas.

The large reptile wandered into a flooded ditch and could not find its way back to the wild when it was found by residents in Mont Belvieu on June 3.

Footage shows the vehicle's claws plucking the animal off the muddy waterway before it was kept in the cargo bed.

The alligator was transported by the Mont Belvieu Public Works Department back to its habitat unharmed.

The city council said in a statement: 'It was truly a team effort today as Public Works used their grapple truck to assist Animal Control in removing this 12ft gator from a ditch along Eagle Drive. '
