Nothing to see here, just an alligator in a furniture store

Just another day in Florida.

Just another terrifying reptile sighting in (you guessed it) Florida.

This time, it was at a furniture store in the Tampa Bay area, where an alligator was spotted Wednesday in the parking lot.

Now, shockingly, this gator didn't get inside on it's own. Local police actually brought the gator inside because the route to the nearest pond went straight through the store.

The animal was guided through the jungle of recliners and ottomans to the back side of the store.

Law enforcement was faced with the choice between dragging the gator around the perimeter of the large shopping plaza, or convincing the owner of American Freight Furniture to let it through. He agreed, citing that he didn't want the gator to get hurt.

Aww! Floridians gotta look out for each other, cold blooded or no.
