A massive alligator in Florida was marked for removal after peering into a homeowner’s front door. The footage of the removal shows an animal wrangler wearing a State Alligator Trapper shirt pulling the creature off the porch. The alligator rolls through the landscaping, surprising viewers with its size. Despite resistance, the alligator is eventually captured and relocated to a safe area. To be deemed a nuisance, an alligator in Florida must be at least 4 feet long and pose a threat to people, pets, or property.
Part 2 is the video that has gone viral. In this one, the animal wrangler wearing a State Alligator Trapper shirt can be seen pulling the gator off the porch. It’s unclear at first just how large the alligator us until it death rolls through the landscaping.
In Parts 3 and 4, the alligator is still resisting removal. It was pleased as pie hanging on the porch. As far as the alligator is concerned, that porch was his. Then suddenly he’s being wrapped up and dragged into the street.
In Part 3, the alligator is rolling across the grass. Neighbors have come out to investigate the kerfuffle. In part 4, the alligator gives up. It rolls over like a dog who says “I’m not moving and you can’t move me” as they attempt to get it into a cage.
