POLK COUNTY, Fla. – This alligator has the right idea.
Polk County deputies spotted the baby gator behind an ice machine outside a Circle K.
“Even the gators can’t handle this Florida heat! ” the sheriff’s office tweeted on Wednesday.
Central Florida has been seeing highs surge into the mid-to-upper 90s this week, with the heat index above 100.
Tuesday was the hottest day so far this year, and Wednesday will be hotter. Orlando had a high temperature of 95 on Tuesday.
The gator was relocated to a lake, where it can hopefully stay cool!
