LEE COUNTY, Fla. – Being hungry isn’t fun, but being hangry? Well, that’s ten times worse — especially when you’re an alligator.
Customers at a Florida Wendy’s were greeted with a terrifying surprise in the parking lot on Monday when a six-foot alligator was running loose in the parking lot, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies responded to Lee Blvd today after this 6-ft gator chased pedestrians through a Wendy's parking lot.
He may have just been "hangry" for a cheeseburger, but he gave many quite the scare!
