NORTH LAUDERDALE - Construction worker Jimmy Lloyd Sewell knew it was April Fool's Day, but the scaly alligator he saw walking beneath the turnpike overpass early Tuesday was no joke. "That's a crazy thing," the 40-year-old carpenter said about seeing the 10-foot-long beast strolling leisurely along the shoulder of busy State Road 7 as motorists gawked. "You hear about alligators eating people so I was not going to get too close," Sewell said. While a co-worker called 911, Sewell herded kids on bikes away from the 400-pound gator as it headed south away from the overpass. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/broward/sfl-401gatornabbed,0,338400.story
