critter in the road

Around here we have to watch for deer, raccoons, and other small critters.  But in Louisiana they've got bigger hazards on their roads.  An alligator brought traffic to a halt when it strolled down a highway.  A driver had to call 911 in the hopes of getting some help to get the critter to move.  Apparently the alligator wasn't thrilled about the cops being called and it left the highway before they arrived.  road block
