Usually when someone heads to their backyard the only animals they may encounter are some birds or a couple of squirrels.
However, in Florida there is something a little more dangerous they have to look out for when venturing outside: alligators.
A man in the Sunshine State went viral recently after sharing a video of an alligator fight he captured happening right outside his home.
As seen in the now viral clip, the two massive alligators bite at each other, before starting to wrestle around near the water.
The video was shared by Florida resident Gordon Silver on Monday, who captioned the video “Didn't have to leave my back yard to capture these 2 gators tossing each other around at the beginning of the 2021 mating season in Lakewood Ranch, Florida.”
According to Newsweek, alligators become more active when temperature rises, and with alligator mating season around the corner, more aggressive gators could be on the way.
Eventually one of the alligators escapes, going back into the water, but not before putting on a show for Silver. It is unknown if the alligators were mating or fighting over territory. Either way, the internet is hoping more backyard gator fights are on the way.
