RICHMOND, Texas Neighbors in the Harvest Green subdivision of Richmond had quite a surprise on Sunday afternoon when an alligator crossed the street, holding up traffic.

Video showed the giant gator crossing Harvest Home Drive around 1:45 p.m. on Sunday as cars slowed down to let it pass.

It was huge and it was just like being slow, holding up the traffic, but yeah it seemed really big, neighbor Zara Ahmed said.

Her 6-year-old son said he wasnt scared of the gator and didnt try to pet it.

I thought it was big and it would eat stuff in the water, he said.

The neighborhood association told KPRC 2 News they get regular reports of gators in the neighborhood but none that have caused problems.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department said non-nuisance alligators, as this one appeared to be, have no reason to be removed. The game warden for the area advised residents to keep their distance to avoid any problems.

Alligators are similar to bears and tend to hibernate in the winter, so sightings may start to die down until the spring.

Department

Stay calm, dont approach
A gator hissing means you are too close
Stay away from the edge of water
Keep pets on a leash
Report nuisance gators (if they are killing livestock or animals, or appear to be a threat to health and safety) to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department

of course you dont see signs of the gator, they've got literal millions of years of evolution to make sure you dont notice them until they're pulling you under...

People don't expect gators to high-walk like that. But they do. And it's terrifying if you've never seen it before.

not as scary as when they run, or when they climb trees...

i'd say keep them in a fenced in yard, but gators climb fences pretty easily.
