Man pits his truck against a gator — VIDEO

Driving your truck up to a pretty angry alligator isn’t probably something you want to do. The reptile just might win.

In a 30-second clip posted on YouTube, a camera-wielding man inches his truck forward through an alligator’s habitat. And the gator clearly does not like it.

So much so that it gives the vehicle a warning bite.

But our driver is not deterred.

He continues to move forward despite the terrifying hissing of the alligator.

Finally, the truck gets too close and it’s the final straw. The gator chomps onto the front fender of the truck and rips it off. It’s quite terrifying how easily it was able to do that.

This is an important time to remind our readers that a gator’s bite has enough force to lift a small truck. Keep that in mind as you watch it over and over again.
