Hernando County deputies got a call to remove a large alligator seen "loitering" in a Wendy's parking lot on Wednesday.
The Hernando County Sheriff's office called in Florida Fish and Wildlife officers to come to remove the gator for the safety of customers.
Images posted to Facebook showed the gator being put into the back of a vehicle to be taken to another location out of the way of humans and domestic animals.
HCSO said, "deputies were quickly dispatched to assess the situation."
It was unclear exactly where Florida Fish and Wildlife took the alligator.
