Giant alligator performs multiple death rolls to escape Florida officers
Footage captured by law enforcement in Florida has shown the moment a giant, 9-foot-long alligator performs at least a dozen so-called death rolls, attempting to evade capture.
In the clip the officers can be seen leading the huge reptile by the mouth out of foliage where it was hidden, in a residential area. As it is dragged further out into to the open, the alligator can be seen spinning, numerous times. The instinctive reaction, known as a death roll, allows alligators to successfully incapacitate their prey but it is also a response to danger.
In the clip the officers can be seen leading the huge reptile by the mouth out of foliage where it was hidden, in a residential area. Collier County Sheriff’s Office/Facebook Collier County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a statement on Facebook that officers were called to deal with the gator in the residential area of Golden Gate City. Children were waiting at a nearby bus stop when the reptile was spotted. “But we're pretty sure this critter wasn't heading to school,” the county’s sheriff’s office added in a droll aside.
