6-Foot Alligator Wanders Into Walmart Parking Lot, Is a Less Cute Version of the Ikea Monkey

For eons, there has been an unspoken agreement between the monsters of the deep (like that 18-foot fish monster, the giant oarfish, that was recently found off the shore of Catalina Island, Calif.) and the monsters of land (us): Stay off our turf.

But that barrier has been breached once again: A 6-foot-long alligator wandered into a Walmart parking lot in Apopka, Fla. and stationed itself outside the store's automatic sliding doors, close enough that the doors kept opening and closing.

Imagine it: Zhoooop. Open. Whoooosh. Close. Chilling.

But in the hour that the alligator lingered, it never entered the store and no one was injured. The store even stayed open during the ordeal. Eventually a trapper was called to remove the alligator, but by the time they arrived, the alligator had already escaped to the wooded area behind the Walmart.
