A woman in Louisiana used her feet to try to move an alligator off the highway in Lake Charles in a video shared online.
The incident, filmed on a Monday in mid-June, shows cars at a standstill as the woman lifts her leg above the alligator’s head. Wearing athletic shorts and tennis shoes with nothing covering her legs, she unwisely taps the stubborn gator’s snout with her foot.
The gator opens his mouth, likely snarling or growling. Despite not having any vocal cords, alligators are some of the most vocal reptiles.
The woman jumps back and appears to rethink her strategy when a man carrying a stick comes to her aid.
Kelsey Marcantel, who uploaded the video to TikTok this week, captioned it: “Typical day in Louisiana.” The video had more than 40,300 likes and had been re-shared across multiple social media platforms.
