Animal control shows up quicker than an ambulance for gator calls. He and the gator could have been seriously injured,” shared another.
“I used the front like a hippo mouth. I saw that he was more timid and he was backing down, so that's why I knew I had the advantage,” he told USA Today. He later released the alligator in a bushy area near a water body.
