An alligator was caught on camera using a crosswalk in Flagler County, in northern Florida, Monday morning.
According to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office, the gator was spotted in the bushes near the intersection at Cypress Point Parkway and Cypress Edge Drive in Palm Coast.
FCSO Cpl. Kenny Goncalves said the gator was more than five feet long. It was sitting by the crosswalk and suddenly scampered across the entire roadway in the crosswalk.
"He just walked in the crosswalk like it was normal," Cpl. Goncalves said.

It was in the median so I pulled over and jumped out just in time. People helped by stopping with their flashers, some were jumping out of their car to take pictures.
Gorgeous-ugly reptile. Long tail (for a turtle) looked exactly like an alligator's. Everyone was warning to keep a safe distance. One guy said everyone thought their existence in northern VA was just a legend.

area near the auditorium and Century Tower: Campus cops were escorting a gator from one pond to another when the latter decided it was time to change.
