Video: Alligator With Missing Foot Crossing The Road In Venice Florida
Just a normal spring day for us. A Florida alligator got some place to be. While sitting in his truck on Jacaranda in Venice Florida, Daniel Jay Kaufman recorded this beast crossing the road. The part to notice, and the part that no one seems to have the answer for, is why is he missing a foot?
I love how casual this thing is. He strolls across the street at his own pace, under Daniel’s truck, and out the other side. Nice move on DK’s part not honking his horn or doing anything to get that thing agitated. It wouldn’t have taken much for him to damage that truck. As for the missing foot, according to the Miami Herald, “It’s not uncommon to see alligators with a missing leg — or missing part of their tail — in Florida’s swamps and marshes. Experts say the disabilities are often the result of fights among bulls over turf or mates.”
Honestly, I’m more scared of the snakes here than I am of a Florida alligator. You can usually see an alligator coming. And get out your phone. And record it. Ha.
Looks like Chubbs may have got his hand back after all.
