Video: Florida Life: Sandhill Cranes Chase Alligator Across Road

We have sandhill cranes in Florida and alligators in just about every body of water. We usually don’t see the two interact.

This alligator must have gotten too close to something, because three cranes tried to chase the juvenile alligator across a road. It then made a turn and ran back to a pond.

It’s good to see traffic stop for the activity in the road.

Is this the cutest alligator you’ll see all day? It sure seems that way from the voice on the video.

The video comes from St. Cloud where Mallery Neptune posted it.
