It's been a bit of time since Florida found itself in the news for something gator-related.

#1 But that clock has been reset as of this past weekend.
An additional level of intrigue in this gator attack is that we all can experience it, as it was captured on Facebook Live. To date, over 700,000 have been able to share in the absolute horror that must have been experienced by Tylor Hindery and his wife while they were on vacation.

The video doesn't last too long, only about a minute and a half. It begins with an extreme close-up on the gator in question as it lies in some marsh. The tour guide on the boat says something to the extent of "you can reach out and slap him, can't you?"
Tylor and his wife laughed briefly before the alligator suddenly springs into action and jumps at the camera.

As you might imagine, screaming quickly commences. As well as an ample amount of shouting and shuffling and crashing and scraping.
The camera spins and pans and does a whole bunch of dizzying things before coming to rest on the invading alligator which is now perched on the edge of the boat and seemingly trying to exit.
According to Tylor, the driver of the boat went about attempting to frighten the alligator to get it off of the watercraft.
Fortunately he succeeded, no one was harmed, and we all have this terrifying Facebook live video to watch and conjure up nightmares at any time.
