Once it got to the door, it sat on the porch with its appearance leaving the owner of the home in total shock.
Local police received a call from a resident reporting a gator lurking in the area.
According to the local press, the resident said that the animal was attempting to get inside the house.
Law enforcement acted quickly and was able to capture the stray alligator, as reported by Need To Know.
In the video, which has more than 26,000 views online, several men attempted to restrain the reptile.
They used a stick to guide it toward the back of a truck before lifting it onto the trailer.
Authorities stated that it was handed over to a certified trapper without any issues.
The alligator was spotted on Friday (9 May) morning, in the Tortuga neighbourhood, located approximately 233 miles southeast of Tampa, Florida, US.
A Lee County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said: “Knock knock, your visitor is chomping at the bit to come in.

“Thankfully, he was secured and handed over to the trapper safely.
