Giant alligator lunging at cars on North Carolina road shooed away after firefighters spray massive reptile with hose
The giant gator was reported to be blocking traffic around 1 a.m. in Boiling Spring Lakes, a town in Brunswick County, south of Wilmington. The Brunswick County Sheriff's Office requested the help of firefighters after"deciding that a 12-foot dragon was a bit outside what they could handle solo," according to the fire department.
"After a first attempt to walk this gentleman across the road failed, we turned to what we know best.... we flowed some water," fire officials said.
