A hog-tied alligator decided it was not going down without a fight in Central Florida.
Secured with zip ties, the alligator was being loaded into the bed of a pickup truck by several people when the gator whipped its neck around, headbutting a trapper and briefly knocking him unconscious.
Video shown by WKMG-TV shows a Florida Fish and Wildlife trapper putting the 8-foot gator in the back of a truck. The feisty, tied-up alligator lashed out and head-butted the trapper. The trapper fell to the ground as police and another trapper worked to get the gator back inside the truck. The video was first posted to YouTube on May 25.
Neighbors say the alligator was walking through front yards before trappers arrived.
There was no word on the trapper’s condition.
The alligator was eventually taken away.
