Florida Fish and Wildlife officials say 17 alligators broke out of a Hernando alligator farm by digging under a fence. So far, nine have been accounted for and eight are still on the run.
FWC officials say the alligator owner has a permit. They did an inspection in February and everything checked out.

FWC officials say the case is still under investigation and neighbourhood residents should be on the lookout.
The alligator owner has been cited for maintaining wildlife in an unsafe or unsanitary condition. That's a second-degree misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $500 or up to 60 days in jail.
