Leann Cook posted a video to Facebook showing the massive gator strolling down the sidewalk in front of Deltona Middle School on Sunday evening.

I actually thought it was a snake of some sort, but the closer I got, I realized, it was a big gator," Miranda told WOFL-TV. "I've never had an experience this close, and I am taking this as an affirmation that, after 20 years, I've finally become a Floridian," he said. Witnesses said they summoned a trapper to the scene, but the gator had wandered away by the time they arrived.
