What's the best way to catch an alligator? Apparently you should put a cloth over its eyes, tape its mouth up and then sit on it... and please don't try this at home! But what if the creature is 900 pounds and called Godzilla? Well Christy Kroboth's job is to catch alligators which have wandered onto private property in the American state of Texas. She then takes the creatures to a remote, safe place, far from the people who are petrified of them.

She told Matthew Bannister why she wanted to take on what is traditionally seen as a job for men.
