A controversial livestreamer is under investigation after sharing footage that appears to show him shooting an alligator.
Braden Eric Peters, who is known online as “Clavicular”, allegedly filmed the incident while travelling through the Florida Everglades.
The clip shows Peters passing an alligator in the water before pulling out a handgun and firing multiple shots in its direction.

Splashes can be seen erupting around the reptile as bullets hit the water, as reported by Need To Know.
After firing repeatedly, Peters is heard saying: “Hey, I think it’s dead.”
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) released a statement revealing that it was investigating the matter.
A spokesperson said: “The FWC is aware of a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator.
“FWC officers are looking into the incident and will provide additional information when available.”
Peters became known in the mid-2020s on Kick and TikTok for his “looksmaxxing” content, which commentators have described as extreme and controversial, particularly for practices such as facial “bone smashing” and allegedly using crystal meth to stay lean.
In February he was arrested in Scottsdale, Arizona, on suspicion of dangerous drug possession, with court documents describing him as carrying Adderall and Anavar.
According to officers, he was shown on stream asking patrons at the bar for Adderall.
The charges were later dropped.
