“He was hissing and swinging his tail around,” homeowner Chhaya Behary told CBS Miami. “And I looked through the window and sure enough there’s a gigantic alligator and his tail was just smacking my door. It was intense.”
“I’m like, ‘Why my house? Do you smell turkey?’ ” she added.
Behary’s neighbors noticed the gator, too, and came outside to watch as Florida Fish and Wildlife officers came to trap the reptile, which rolled around ferociously as it was taken away.
Behary said it wasn’t unusual for their Fort Meyers neighborhood to have gator sightings, but this one seemed more aggressive than others.
“Just take caution with your animals, your children, just don’t walk outside in the dark at night because that’s when they’re out,” Behary said.
