A caiman measuring approximately one meter in length was discovered under a parked car in the La Isleta neighborhood of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The discovery prompted an emergency response involving the Local Police and the Nature Protection Service (Seprona) of the Civil Guard.

Authorities took precautions to prevent the reptile from moving through the urban area and causing incidents. During the operation, agents immobilized the animal's mouth with tape to ensure safety. The caiman was successfully removed from the public road without any reported injuries to people or the animal.

The origin and ownership of the reptile remain unknown. While there is speculation that the animal may belong to a local resident, official confirmation regarding its source or owner has not been provided.
