A-croc-alypse meow.
While cats are known for bringing unusual objects home, one ambitious kitty took the cake after dragging a — wait for it — whole alligator head into a house in Wisconsin.
Photos of the hairy headhunter’s ghoulish trophy are currently going viral as paw-struck viewers scratch their heads in disbelief.
“He was very proud of himself,” owner Wendy Wiesehuegel told Fox News of the “unexpected” discovery, which occurred Sunday in Waukesha county.
The Wisconsinite had noticed that her black cat, named Burnt Toast, had dragged an unseen object onto her lawn, which her neighbor mistook for a big fish.
After inspecting the object, Wiesehuegel realized it was no bass.
“I bent down, and I’m like, ‘That’s not a northern [pike] or a fish,’” recalled the astonished woman. “I said, ‘That’s a gator.’”
Accompanying pics show the toothy reptile noggin, which is almost fully intact. When turned upside down, the head appeared to be missing part of its skull.
“I was kind of excited at first because you could never see anything around here,” said Wiesehuegel, who subsequently called Department of Natural Resources’ conservation warden Tim Aspenson to verify if it was, in fact, a real gator cranium.

The conservation expert said a wildlife biologist would need to confirm its authenticity, but that he believes it was not a souvenir head but belonged to a real animal, which likely measured three feet long.
As American alligators aren’t native to Wisconsin, Aspenson suspects that it could’ve been a pet that escaped or was released. However, the wildlife official wasn’t sure how it perished or came into Burnt Toast’s possession.
Coincidentally, Wiesehuegel remembered seeing what she thought was a gator a few days prior while on a lake with her brother-in-law.
“He just laughed it off like, ‘No, it’s not a gator,’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah, it probably isn’t one,’ and we just kind of dismissed it, and then this showed up,” said Wiesehuegel of the reptile, which generally inhabits muggy swamps in the American south.
In hindsight, Wiesehuegel says she “thought of the gravity of it and how awful it would be if it was out in the lake, and it was summertime, and people were swimming.”
While it’s rare to find this cold-blooded predator in such a frigid climate, Aspenson believes this won’t be the last time.

In July, Wisconsin police were flabbergasted after finding an alligator roaming a neighborhood in Kenosha. As it turned out, the reptile — named Chomper — was actually someone’s pet, and it was reunited with its caregiver after its little adventure.
This marked the second such animal that’d been found in southeast Wisconsin that month. The first was a 24-inch allegedly escaped gator that was discovered swimming in a lake in Fond du Lac.
