With an alligator tucked under one arm, a man tromped into a Jacksonville, Florida, convenience store looking for a 12-pack of beer in recent days. The incident, which was caught on a viral, laughter-filled Facebook video, is being looked into by Florida wildlife officials, according to a local ABC News affiliate.

WTLC reported it was not immediately clear if the man had done anything illegal.

In the video, a man can be seen walking through the convenience store with what appears to be a 4- or 5-foot-alligator under one arm.

I saw some strange ad placement on that article. Here's a screenshot:

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn’t have too much to say,
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
The stranger there among them had a gator on his hip,
Gator on his hip

They may not have had any on hand

That’s funny. I have my ad block up so I don’t get to see the ads.

Why not? There is a “therapy” everything these days.

Dang it, no shirt, no shoes, no service. No exceptions.

looks like his emotional support gator as he carries it the same way some of them carry their little yapperdogs

This is the type of guy that gives rednecks a bad name.

A more cultured redneck would have at least used a leash.

Just another day in Jax.

That guy is a drunken idiot.

A feller just can’t have any fun anymore.

Comfort gator.
Red neck has anxiety without his little friend.

Could be worse. Here's a photo of my cousin Montgomery with his therapy animal. To each his own, I guess.

I can’t imagine what would happen if someone did that in NY city.

Reminds me of an old joke that can't be repeated here.
