A Florida resident is breaking the internet with his out of the box idea of trapping an alligator after it showed up at his neighbour’s house.
The brave man trashed the gator in a trash bin in the sweetest way without having to harm the reptile or anybody around.
The viral video shows the man named Eugene Bozzi playfully trapping the gator in a recycle bin.
The gator seemed confused as it appeared to show resistance to the garbage box.
Eugene then pushes the recycle bin towards the gator leaving it with no option but to enter it.
The video showed that as soon as the gator entered the recycle bin, he immediately managed to shut the lid.
Eugene told local media that he did not realize that the gator would be so powerful.
After trapping the alligator, Eugene wheeled the recycle bin to the pond where the gator came from.
The reptile safely went back into the water.
Eugene has been hailed as a hero in the neighbourhood.
He told the media, “We all got to look out for each other…”
Animal rights activists and social media users have praised Eugene for calmly dealing with the situation.
