Traffic stops to let alligator cross Doral street

DORAL, Fla. ā€“ As if we're not perplexed enough about why the chicken crossed the road, we now have to ponder what one South Florida alligator was up to.

The usual Doral traffic grind came to a halt over the weekend to let an alligator with wanderlust cross the road.

Ricardo Antonio captured video of the traveling gator on Saturday and posted it to his Facebook page.

The alligator looked to be about 6-7 feet long and displayed impressive manners by using the crosswalk.

No word on where the gator was headed, but as no chickens were sighted nearby, it may have walking home after a quick bite.
