The 10-and-a-half-foot gator was sprawled out in the middle of highway near County Road 73 near the city of Sinton.

Drivers called the sheriff's department, who, along with TxDOT, had to lasso the reptile and moved it off the roadway with a backhoe.

According to NBC affiliate KRIS-TV, another six-foot long gator was found in the same area last week.
