An alligator was relatively recently caught on camera using a crosswalk in Flagler County in northern Florida just north of Daytona Beach Florida.

According to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, the alligator was spotted in the bushes near the intersection at Cypress Point Parkway and Cypress Edge Drive in Palm Coast.

Flager County Sheriff  Corporal Kenny Goncalves said the alligator was more than 5 feet long.

It was sitting by the crosswalk and then suddenly scampered across the roadway in the crosswalk.

“He just walked in the crosswalk like it was normal,” said Corporal Goncalves.

Sheriff officers stopped traffic to allow the alligator to cross, which they said took about 30 seconds.

A trapper from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission was called, but before the gator trapper arrived the apparently safety-conscious alligator had disappeared into a wooded lot and thus back to its natural habitat.
