An alligator in Texas tried to make a daring escape after it was captured Sunday by climbing out of the trunk of a car, CBS affiliate KHOU reported.

The Gator Squad's Christy Kroboth posted pictures and a video to Facebook explaining the ordeal. The 7-foot-long gator was apparently caught in Fulsher, Texas, late Saturday night.

"If you catch them in the middle of the night, sometimes I keep them in the backseat of my car, in the trunk area and they're fine." Kroboth said. "But in the middle of the night, this guy tried to escape. He climbed over the row of seats and he's now in the front windshield where he busted the windshield in two places..."
