With hurricanes tearing through Florida lately, one couple knew they’d be returning to a waterlogged home, they certainly didn’t expect to find a surprise house guest waiting for them.
In this wild clip making waves online, a man cracks open the door to find water pouring out — and, oh yeah, an alligator casually lounging by the entrance. Safe to say, the homeowners were left totally floored by their unexpected, scaly guest!
Now, you can see the gator — or crocodile, as the video claims — made himself right at home, looking the other way, completely oblivious that he had company — so, luckily, there didn’t seem to be any immediate danger to the Floridians.
After a solid “holy s***” scream, the residents seemed to take it all in stride, humor intact. They even captioned the wild moment, “Came home to a flood … and a new pet crocodile!”
Now, there are more alligators than crocodiles in Florida, but crocs have been increasing in population — so until we get a closer look, we’re not certain which specific reptile this guy is.
It’s unclear what became of the toothy visitor, but TBH, with all the alligators roaming around Florida, it’s probably a safe bet that other folks are returning to similar scaly surprises amid Hurricanes Helene and Milton lashing the state.
