It seems alligator season is officially here as the massive reptiles are starting to pop up in areas most wouldn’t expect to see them. The latest example comes from Tampa, Florida where police had to be called to help remove an alligator that was spotted under a parked car. It ended up taking four people to remove the 10 ft alligator.
As seen in the now viral clip, the police officer struggles to get the massive alligator in the back of the truck, even with the gator’s mouth taped shut and the help of a trapper. According to Newsweek, police were called to the area around 9am after someone spotted the huge reptile sitting under their car parked in an apartment complex parking lot. “The caller advised there was a pond nearby, but this was no small gator... it was 10'2"!!!” the sheriff’s office captioned the viral video.
Many online were stunned by the size of the alligator; with most saying they would be going nowhere near their car in that situation. Luckily, the alligator was safely removed and no one was harmed. Maybe next time it will try calling shotgun instead of sitting under the car.
