Massive Alligator Stops Traffic Near I-10 in South Louisiana [PHOTOS]
What a huge animal.
A photo circulating on social media shows a massive alligator crossing a roadway and the person who posted the photo says it was taken near I-10.
Winston Andrews tells me that this alligator was spotted on the entrance ramp off of I-10 at Ryan St. in Lake Charles.
Andrews says, "Traffic had to stop and was backed up a lil ways. We thought it was just another traffic incident. He was crossing the feeder road, headed into a nearby gulley. Again, this is less that 1/2 mile from the beach, but across the interstate."
Another photo sent to me of this alligator shows it in the middle of the road, while traffic stopped allowing it to cross.
As you may expect some on social media were shocked to see the size of this alligator, while others report seeing it in this same location off of I-10.
