An alligator broke into a Clearwater, FL kitchen looking for a snack. I guess it was hungry.

Just another FL famous gator meme.

Gators are on the prowl....

And they are such ungracious guests when they do come to your house.

I’m impressed. I didn’t think an alligator knew a kitchen was all about food. One made that discovery.

Underestimate gators to your peril.

So, did they “wake up to get a midnight snack” or did the noise wake them up?

They thought it was a cat burglar. No one expected a gator!

I may be in the extreme minority, but I think they’re cute. Cute in the way that a 5-inch-long gator is cute.

You read my mind.
It would make for a long night but by dawn the freezer would be full.

Crashing thru a window? I wish these gators would be more civil. Can’t they just deliver a telegram or candygram like normal folk?

It is about time for gators to make little gators. If that 11footer is a bull gator, he needs to stock up energy food to perform.

We have a gator or 2 in both ponds in our condo complex. South of Jacksonville, FL.
