Small Gator Climbs Through Door, Bites Homeowner


Recommended Posts

EUSTIS, FL (AP) -- Authorities say a small alligator climbed through the porch door of a house north of Orlando and then bit the homeowner's arm when it was forced out.

The 2-foot-long alligator wandered onto James Gaff's canal-front property in Lake County on Sunday. Gaff tried to remove the gator, which then latched onto his right forearm. :|

A spokeswoman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission says Gaff's wife, Elaine, pried the gator off using a broom handle and the couple threw the reptile into the water behind their home.

The 52-year-old Gaff was treated at a hospital for minor cuts and scrapes.
