POLK COUNTY, Fla. - It’s alligator mating season in Florida and one gator was apparently in the mood for some cheap snacks.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office found an alligator hiding under a vending machine at a Circle K gas station.
"This little guy was hanging out under a vending machine @CircleKStores," Sheriff Grady Judd tweeted on Wednesday. "3 deputies later he was no longer freaking people out."
