This Florida man accomplished something most of us couldn’t even imagine in our wildest imaginations in what can only be described as a daring act. He used a garbage bin to catch an alligator. The video has gone viral, with many people sharing it on various social media sites.
According to USA Today, the man in the video is Eugene Bozzi, a 26-year-old US army veteran. He explained that when his children informed him about the alligator, he believed it was a tiny one. When he noticed the gator’s size, he took action and grabbed the garbage bin to capture it.
The video begins with the man gently attempting to capture the reptile. People can be heard cheering him on in the video.
So far, 3.1 million people have seen the tweet, and the figure is rapidly growing. Some applauded the guy, while others voiced their disgust.
“That’s brave,” one Twitter user said. “I’ve had a gator in my yard a few times, and the way he handled it was the polar opposite of safe. For gator calls, animal control arrives faster than an ambulance. Another person said, “He and the gator might have been badly wounded.”
“I utilised the front as if it were a hippo’s mouth. I noticed that he was more frightened and backing down, so I knew I had the upper hand,” he told USA Today. He then released the alligator in a densely forested region near a body of water.
