A 14-foot alligator has been safely removed from a property in Sarasota County, Florida on Tuesday (02December2025) after deputies were called to deal with the unexpected intruder.

The post read: “How many deputies does it take to evict a 14-foot gator? Apparently, 7 brave deputies and 1 skilled trapper! This massive guest had plans to stay for the holidays, but we had other ideas. With a wave goodbye, we say, ‘See ya later, alligator!’”
