Pittsburgh Animal Control officers discovered an alligator in a Downtown fountain Thursday morning.

The reptile was found in the fountain in front of the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.

Animal Control officers said it's possible the gator came from the Allegheny River.

A veterinarian at the Animal Rescue League said it's more likely the gator was a pet left in the fountain.

This is the fifth alligator found in Pittsburgh this year.
