A large alligator caused some delays for Milledgeville drivers Wednesday night.
A viewer sent 13WMAZ photos of the reptile, which blocked traffic on Gordon Highway from around 9:30 p.m. until early Thursday morning.
Danreco Tucker told 13WMAZ that the State Patrol and Department of Natural Resources were finally able to move the reptile around 1 a.m.
He estimates that the gator was 12.5 feet long and weighed about 350 pounds.
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources estimates that there are 200,000 alligators in Georgia, most of them south of the Columbus-Georgia-Augusta “fall line.”
