OSCEOLA COUNTY, Florida (WESH) — The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office released body-worn camera footage Saturday showing deputies capturing an alligator.
The video shows the alligator twisting and turning as it tried to escape during the encounter on Thursday.
The sheriff’s office reminded residents to keep a safe distance from alligators and never attempt to feed them.
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, alligator mating season begins with courtship in early April, with the real mating occurring in May and June, altogether resulting in heightened activity and potential territorial aggression.
