Any encounter with an alligator, one of the deadliest and most terrifying creatures on the planet, might result in significant injury or perhaps death. They are among the fastest and most ferocious reptiles, so hope they never come into contact with one.

A viral social media video depicts an elderly guy attempting to trap an alligator with a simple piece of cloth that resembles a shirt. The sights are as strange and frightening as they sound when reading. The man appeared confident and adept at first while trapping the large reptile, but as the video progressed, the old man collapsed violently. He tried to back away, fearful of the alligator’s frightening attacking manoeuvres.

The old man’s hand became entangled in the alligator’s mouth for a brief while. The gentleman was able to save himself uninjured when the reptile opened its mouth and walked away. This video is an excellent example of why interacting with wild animals without proper training and support is never a smart idea.

The frightening video has been viewed several times by Reddit users, who appear to be surprised by it based on the volume of comments left.

“Damn the way he threw that shirt, I really thought this guy knew what he was doing,” one user said.

Another user stated “the guy is very lucky the super-fast second snap didn’t get his foot or leg! It was so close.”
