WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Why did the gator cross the road? Who knows, but it’s just another day in Florida.
A 6-foot alligator was spotted Monday strolling across a roadway in West Palm Beach.
Drivers got out their vehicles to watch the alligator.

Meantime, a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission trapper arrived in flip-flops and wrangled the gator.
Officials warn Floridians to be especially careful around bodies of water, since gators are most active during the warmer months.
