A 'dominant' male alligator named King Arthur was recently found in South Carolina with a metallic object on his head, Georgia wildlife experts say. He was eventually freed.

A South Carolina alligator was found with a strange object on its head – and wildlife experts in Georgia were called to get to the bottom of it. The University of Georgia Coastal Ecology Lab made a Facebook post about the 11-foot-long alligator, which has been named King Arthur, on Monday. The lab explained that it was recently contacted about a 'dominant male alligator' wearing an unusual contraption at Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort in St. Helena Island, South Carolina.

After talking with them and looking at the pictures they sent, it appeared that this alligator had somehow gotten a tomato cage stuck over his head!' the lab said. The UGA Coastal Ecology Lab's staff cautioned against any human intervention at first, as animals can sometimes free themselves after being trapped in an object.
