The Oshkosh Police Department has seized multiple exotic animals from a home Saturday.

An anonymous tip was reported to the police of a residence at the 3700 block of Glenshire Lane of having an alligator, snakes and other animals.

Officers investigated and found a total of 29 animals in the residence. Among them there was a 2.5 foot alligator, eight snakes, spiders and other animals.

An investigation is ongoing into the incident and authorities are looking to place the animals in a more appropriate environment.

Keeping exotic animals as pets violates an ordinance in the City of Oshkosh.
