In a quiet suburban area of Florida, a peaceful morning turned surreal when the doorbell camera captured two large alligators approaching the porch. What began with birdsong and freshly brewed coffee quickly changed when the reptiles appeared on video, one even rearing up slightly to press its snout against the door, as if trying to peer inside.
The homeowner described the scene as “surreal,” noting that the alligators seemed purposeful. While some joked about the footage on social media, others warned of the danger, especially if a child had opened the door.
Experts say suburban growth in Florida is increasingly overlapping with alligator habitats, increasing these encounters. This month, one even entered a kitchen in Venice, Florida.
Authorities recommend keeping doors closed, avoiding leaving food out, and calling wildlife services to remove them. In this case, the alligators returned to a nearby pond, leaving unforgettable images.
