HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – A large puddle-loving alligator took advantage of Tropical Storm Debby's heavy rain and strolled across a road on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
"There's a 7-footer," exclaimed Robert Moose Rini on Monday in a video he captured showing the gator taking a slow stroll across Pope Avenue. "Imagine walking around the corner and seeing that sucker."
Dragging its belly across the road, the alligator can be seen taking a short pause and lying down in the water before continuing its walk. Additional footage from Rini even showed another alligator on a different path alongside the same street.
