Alligators might have scales and powerful jaws, but they don’t have hard hats, which means it’s unsafe for them to be in construction sites.
That was, among other reasons, why a crew in Texas was concerned when a young gator “apparently took a wrong turn and ended up stranded in the work zone,” according to Fulshear Police.
“Thankfully, the kind construction crew kept an eye on the confused ‘investi-GATOR’ and made sure he stayed safe until help arrived,” police write in a Facebook post. “Lieutenant Henry took the little traveler into custody without incident and safely returned him to a nearby lake.”
Honestly, though, we think it might be neat to see an alligator wearing a hard hat. Maybe put a little construction vest on it, too.
