8-foot alligator captured outside Bonita Springs home

Lee County Sheriff’s Office deputies helped trap an 8-foot alligator outside a home in Bonita Springs over the weekend.

You can see in the body camera video below that LCSO posted on Facebook, saying the “swamp pup” showed up on someone’s doorstep.

The monster-sized alligator was just off the driveway in Bonita Springs early Sunday morning.

Florida Fish And Wildlife relocated the alligator. The FWC says if you have a nuisance alligator to report, you can call the FWC’s toll-free Nuisance Alligator Hotline at 866-FWC-GATOR (866-392-4286), and the agency will send a contracted nuisance alligator trapper to resolve the situation.

Last week, a seven-foot alligator attacked an 84-year-old woman in North Fort Myers.

She was walking her dog when she was bitten on the leg at the Julia Mobile Home and RV Park.
