Hot, hungry alligators are crawling through Florida neighborhoods [View all]

Alligators are crawling through Florida neighborhoods, and most are just hot and hungry.

A large alligator was spotted Easter Sunday cruising through Venice before heading back to the neighborhood lake, according to a Facebook post from the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.

"We’re guessing he was about 10 feet in length and boy, did he take his time making it back to the lake he came from," the post said.

Another alligator was spotted two days later in Venice crossing a street.

"WALKERS BEWARE!" a Facebook post from the Venice Police Department said. "He’s currently in the drainage ditch nearby so please use caution when around this area."
