Social media posts about Florida alligators are common and often focus on a shocking glimpse at one of the creatures or a tragic report of an attack.
But a recent image of a gator in Englewood, Florida sparked some hilarious reactions on X where the “pedestrian” theme became the focus of user responses.
Shared by WINK News Chief Meteorologist Matt Devitt, the picture of an alligator hanging out – or possibly trying to climb a wall – made quite a visual impact. DeWitt noted that a viewer had sent in the photo from the southwest Florida town.
“Watch for pedestrians on left & right,” read a sign behind the giant creature, prompting Gov. Ron DeSantis aide Christina Pushaw to write, “He’s watching for pedestrians!”
He’s watching for pedestrians! https://t.co/RphavQyvMl

Other X users also felt the alligator was just following the sign’s directions.
He’s watching for pedestrians like the sign says to do #goodgator

I think he misunderstood that sign to say tasty pedestrians on left & right.

Give him a vest and make him a crossing guard.

Some suggested he was waiting for a delivery or was just doing his job.
He’s working the security entrance cuz it’s a gator community. https://t.co/1KhxWUIgQj

Yes, I remember when the Alligator Neighborhood Watch program began in Florida.
As humans began to mysteriously disappear on patrol other volunteers began to take their places.— Truth! Served Fresh Daily ! (@SanMiguelNews) April 17, 2024
Many X users felt this would be reason enough not to move to Florida.
I was Team DeSantis, but here’s why Florida and I would struggle to get along: https://t.co/ScJza2CSa0

People: “I am afraid of the politics in Florida!!”
Me: “…that’s not what’s scary…” https://t.co/gToV4WVzm4— Kimberly Ross (@SouthernKeeks) April 17, 2024
