Well, watch this!" read a part of the caption of the video shared on Facebook.
"Earlier this week, deputies responded to a home on Oakland Hills Place in Rotonda around 1 in the morning after the homeowner found a gator underneath their Jeep. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) were called out to assist, and unbelievably enough, this 11' 2" gator took out the homeowner's light pole," the caption added.
