BERLIN -- See you later, gator.

Police have returned an alligator to its circus home after it escaped and was found loitering outside a motorcycle shop in a small German town.

Police say they apprehended the one-meter (3-foot) reptile in Gross-Rohrheim, south of Frankfurt, after a caller reported spotting the creature in a town street in the early hours of Thursday.

Officers took the creature into custody while they figured out where it had come from.

Alligators are only native to the United States and China.
