Alligator 'knocking on front doors' gets stuck in folding chair

A large alligator appeared on a family's porch in the Tortuga community, Fort Myers, Florida, on Friday morning, trying to enter their home.
This incident follows multiple recent alligator encounters in Florida, including a fatal attack earlier last week on a woman at Lake Kissimmee with her husband.
Deputies responded to the Fort Myers call, safely secured the alligator off the property, loaded it into a pickup truck, and turned it over to a trapper.
A Florida deputy also wrangled a hissing alligator spotted at a high school in a separate encounter, demonstrating ongoing wildlife management efforts.
These events underscore recent increases in alligator sightings and some deadly encounters in Florida, highlighting persistent human-wildlife conflicts.
