MISSOURI CITY, Texas \u2014 It\u2019s been a busy gator mating season with sightings all across Southeast Texas. \u00a0One spot in particular has seen their fair share and then some.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We’re talking about Sienna in Missouri City. We’ve reported multiple times about gators roaming around the Fort Bend County community. \u00a0This week, there were a couple more sightings, including one right outside an elementary school Friday morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Several people took photos of the gator spotted near Scanlan Oaks Elementary. \u00a0Kristin Cochran, who captured one of the photos, said the gator walked off on its own after being photographed.<\/p>\n

Below was her photo from around 6:40 a.m. \u00a0The gator was spotted right in front of the SOE Field Day sign at Scanlan Oaks!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier that morning, Christina Andrew-Barnett and Ronnie Chapman captured photos of the gator in the street by the school.<\/p>\n

That wasn\u2019t the only sighting in Sienna in the last couple of days. \u00a0On Thursday, a much smaller gator was spotted under a car at the Sienna tennis courts, captured in photos by Vivian Ji.<\/p>\n

Just a couple of weeks ago, we shared the story of a massive gator walking a golf course in Sienna<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been reporting on gator sightings around the Houston area for weeks now. They\u2019re out and about because it\u2019s gator mating season<\/a>, which runs from March 1 through the end of May. So, keep your eyes peeled and watch your step. \u00a0They\u2019ll likely be more active for at least the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n
