A homeowner was horrified after finding an 11 foot alligator hiding under their family Jeep in the driveway of their home.
Footage shared by the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office shows wildlife experts attempting to remove the beast on Tuesday, July 19, in Rotonda West’s Oakland Hills Place, near Tampa.
Hundreds of viewers claimed the gator's roar sounded "prehistoric" as a licensed trapper managed to put a snare around the alligator’s neck before it went into an aggressive spin known as a “death roll”.
A woman was seen in the clip watching from the window as the action took place just 10 feet from her front porch.
The huge reptile measured around 11 feet, two inches, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office, reports the Daily Star.
A statement from the Sheriff's office read: “Around 1 in the morning ... the homeowner found a gator underneath their Jeep. Florida.
"Fish and Wildlife were called out to assist and unbelievably enough, this ... gator took out the homeowner’s light pole.”
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission contracts licensed trappers to catch and remove “nuisance” alligators, which are those “believed to pose a threat to people, pets or property” and are said to euthanize mature gators before trappers sell the meat and hide, according to the Miami Herald.
The news comes after a monster 11ft alligator grabbed and killed a man who was reportedly cutting the grass around the pond it was hiding in.
Emergency services were initially called to a water incident at Myrtle Beach Golf and Yacht Club in South Carolina at around 11.45am on Friday (June 24).
The victim was located near the community pond when he was dragged in, according to Horry County Police.
He was retrieved from the pond when the authorities arrived.
