A Florida news station has shared footage showing an alligator chasing a frightened angler who had briefly turned his back on the reptile.
“Never turn your back on a hungry gator!” Matt Devitt of WINK Weather advised on Facebook.

The video clip is short and it was not clear how far the angler ran or what inspired the gator to chase him.
“Clear evidence the gator has been fed by humans,” one person suggested in the comments. “A truly wild gator would shy away from humans.”
Because the clip cuts off without a proper ending, another person remarked: “We need a Part 2.”
