Members of the Strong Island Animal Rescue League helped save an alligator dumped at the Holtsville Ecology Center.

Strong Island Animal Rescue League says they are returning to the center Friday to check if any other alligators were dumped there.

Anyone with additional information is urged to contact them at 631-403-0598.
