Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources has warned that the warm, dry weather has alligators on the move seeking water sources in the southwestern part of the state. Drivers are cautioned to be on the lookout for the creatures at night when they are harder to see. An estimated 250,000 alligators live in Georgia.
