This is what an Amazon worker, in Florida came across, who after his long tiring late night shift returned home, only to find a giant alligator, resting on his doorstep. Reportedly, measured 6-foot long, the giant water mammal was captured, blocking the entrance of the resident, who stood there shocked and still for a while. Identified as Michael Prestridge, after a short period of “cursing and laughing,” he called the cops to get a trapper to remove the giant predator.
