An alligator and a bobcat<\/a> crossing a road might sound like a setup for a joke \u2013 but that\u2019s exactly what happened in a rural part of Florida last week, and there\u2019s video evidence to prove it.<\/p>\n

Cathy Terry, 69, of Bartow, Florida, was driving to a friend\u2019s house in Polk County when she first spotted the two animals on Tuesday, March 28, at around 3 p.m.<\/p>\n

“I came around the curve and there was a gator,” Terry told Fox News Digital. “I usually always have my camera because I love to take pictures of wildlife.<\/a> So, I grabbed my cell, got a picture of the gator and all of a sudden, out of the brush on the other side there was a bobcat.”<\/p>\n

“Just like any cat, it saw something moving and went to see what it is. It came out that fast,” Terry continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Terry, who volunteers at an animal rescue, said she switched from snapping photos to recording a video, so she could show her friends<\/a> the two animals that were causing her “traffic jam” (SEE THE VIDEO at the top of this article)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The 24-second video snippet shows the bobcat slowly crossing<\/a> the empty road and walking in the same direction as the alligator.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Terry told Fox News Digital that the interaction lasted about a minute and neither animal exhibited aggression toward the other.<\/p>\n

“I couldn’t believe I get to see this,” Terry said. “How am I so lucky to get to see this?”<\/p>\n

Terry pulled her car over on the side of the road and watched the alligator go under<\/a> a barbed wire fence which led to a phosphate pit and creek.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The bobcat reportedly found a spot under some trees and began grooming itself once the alligator left the area.<\/p>\n

“Clearly the bobcat was not bothered by cars at all,” Terry said.<\/p>\n

Terry added that she\u2019s seen bobcats and alligators before in Florida, but she\u2019s never seen both animals within feet of each other in the same pasture.<\/a><\/p>\n

She noted that bobcats are nocturnal animals that usually stay in shady areas on hot, sunny days.<\/p>\n

Terry shared her bobcat and alligator video on Facebook, where it has been viewed more than 71,000 times.<\/p>\n

She said she was pleasantly surprised that the post has gone viral<\/a> and that comments have remained positive. Only a few have wondered why the bobcat “looks skinny,” but other than that, people have thanked Terry for sharing the rare encounter.<\/p>\n

“I was just in the right place at the right time,” Terry told Fox News Digital. “I\u2019m enjoying that people are enjoying it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
