Late for flight? Alligator crosses road by Orlando International Airport

Gator spotted moving between ponds by Airsides 1 and 3, OIA says

Why did this alligator cross the road? Maybe it was late for its flight.

Orlando International Airport tweeted a video of a good-sized gator making its way across a road near the airport.

The alligator must’ve not been running late for its flight because it was taking its sweet time while crossing the street.

OIA said the reptile crossing happened on one of its service roads between Airside 1 and 3.

Officials said it really was just passing from one pond to another, but it’s more fun to think it was trying to make its flight.
