LATER GATOR: A 14-foot, 600-pound alligator brought traffic to a halt in Florida as a trapper and seven deputies teamed up to haul the massive reptile off the road.

 



 Here’s the English summary of the Fox News post you shared:

The tweet from Fox News (posted on December 4, 2025) features a video of a massive 14-foot, approximately 600-pound alligator that was captured in the middle of a road in Sarasota County, Florida on December 2, 2025.
  • It took a professional alligator trapper and seven Sarasota County sheriff’s deputies to wrestle and secure the huge reptile.
  • The gator repeatedly thrashes its tail, knocking deputies off their feet and creating chaotic moments.
  • After being taped and loaded onto a truck, the alligator was relocated (standard procedure in Florida for “nuisance” alligators over a certain size).
Context:
  • Florida is home to about 1.3 million alligators.
  • While 14-footers are impressive, the state record is 18 feet.
  • Large gators showing up in neighborhoods or on roads isn’t extremely rare, especially during mating season or when displaced by development.
The post quickly went viral, racking up over 96k views and 1.3k likes in less than a day. Comments are filled with the usual mix of awe, jokes about its size (“That’s not an alligator, that’s a dinosaur”), calls to release it, and a few political memes (some comparing it to “DJT” or “the swamp”).
