The photo, captured on I-95 just south of Melbourne by Karen Kress, showed the gator tied up from snout to tail, which did not appear to be alive.

What might seem like an odd occurrence isn’t as odd as it appears, though.

According to our sister station, it’s currently alligator hunting season in Florida.

The end to the gator hunt is on Nov. 1, according to the Orlando station.
