(UPI) Students and community members are being warned to keep a safe distance from a Michigan school pond, where an "alligator-type reptile" -- a caiman -- was spotted swimming.

Bedford Public Schools said a teacher spotted an "alligator-type reptile" swimming in the Biology Pond on the campus of Bedford Senior High School and Bedford Junior High School.

The district said experts identified the creature as a 3-foot caiman, a relative of the alligator.

 

Officials said arrangements are being made to remove the caiman from the pond, and students and community members are being warned to keep a safe distance from the water until the creature is relocated.

The district said caimans are not native to Michigan, but sometimes are kept as exotic pets.
