Some also commented that the reptile must be well known since it already had a name.

This is not the first time that a gator roaming near residences or other buildings in the United States has caught the attention of social media users. Earlier an alligator was found crawling through a front yard in Florida by the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office.  The massive reptile can be seen moving on the grass before diving into a nearby lake. Watch the clip here . In another incident in Florida, a gator was captured making its way into a backyard before it halted near a surveillance camera. Some months ago, students at a school in Florida were left stunned after they spotted an alligator swimming in their pool. Pictures of the reptile swimming along in the pool went viral. Many social media users joked that the gator was also trying out for the school’s swim team. The three-foot-long reptile was later caught and transported to Lake Apopka.
