This Florida Man captured an alligator in a recycling bin and successfully won the internet

This has to be one of the greatest Florida Man stories in the history of Florida Man stories. It just has to be.

We’ve seen some wild things go down in Florida, but I don’t know if we’ve ever seen anything quite like this. This man — in his slides and socks — somehow successfully captured an alligator that was in his yard by using … a recycling bin.

A recycling bin, y’all. You cannot make this up. I wouldn’t believe it myself if I hadn’t seen the footage.

A live alligator in your yard has to be absolutely terrifying. But, clearly, not for this guy. He handled the gator like an absolute champ.

That’s just incredible, man. The mettle. The resolve. Just amazing stuff. The internet absolutely loved it.
