The Super 8 motel in Parachute called authorities about an unwelcome guest this week.
But when authorities took the call Monday, they realized it was a job for animal control.
Garfield County Deputy Keith Clemons responded to the motel and found a 38-inch caiman.
The animal — which is a cousin of the alligator — is believed to be a lost or released pet, said sheriff’s deputy Tanny M. McGinnis in a news release.
The caiman now has a new home at the Vet Tech School on Spring Valley Campus in Carbondale.
