Crews trying right into a sequence of potholes in Oviedo, Florida, made a shock discovery after they dispatched a camera-equipped robotic down a pipe to analyze.

What they first thought was a toad turned out to be a 5-foot alligator.

“Simply another excuse to not go wandering down into the Stormwater pipes!” one Oviedo Metropolis official mentioned.

“Thank goodness our crews have a robotic.”

The four-wheel robotic adopted the alligator for 340 toes earlier than getting caught, leaving the animal to get lost.
