During an inspection on Friday in the City of Oviedo, a five-foot alligator made a surprise appearance.
You've heard of Snakes on a Plane? How about Gator in a Pipe? On May 5, a Stormwater crew was out at Lockwood Blvd near Riverside to investigate a series of potholes that have appeared in the roadway. The crew has a robot, which is a four-wheel robotic camera that can go into the pipes and investigate any anomalies under the roadway. They usually bring the robot out to inspect when there are potential roadway defects to see if any pipes have leaks, cracks, defects, etc.. underground.
The alligator, most likely confused, carefully backs up while staring intensely at the robot. The alligator continues to walk backwards until the robot crashes into it, prompting the alligator to turn around and speed away as the robot trails closely behind. The chase continues for 340 feet and ends when the robot gets stuck on an indentation, allowing the alligator to"meander off," according to the city.
"Just another reason not to go wandering down into the Stormwater pipes! Thank goodness our crews have a robot," the city wrote.
