Un caimán de grandes dimensiones, de más de 10 pies de largo, fue capturado debajo de un auto en Tampa.
El conductor del vehículo que estaba estacionado en un complejo de apartamentos, se percató del animal, visiblemente debajo de su auto y llamó al 911. Los oficiales de la comisión de vida silvestre, llegaron al rescate del reptil.
El caso se hizo viral en las redes donde se puede ver en un video, al extenso caimán debajo de un auto de color oscuro. En Instagram, en la cuenta con el nombre lifestyle_miami, varios seguidores, dejaron sus emociones de asombro y algunos comentaron con muestras de sentido del humor: “Si llegó tarde al trabajo el jefe no le va a creer la excusa”.
Los oficiales de la Florida, indican que, en época de primavera y verano, es más normal que sucedan estos incidentes y que dado el caso de toparse con estos animales, no se les acerquen, solamente, hay que ponerse en contacto con ellos, para su rescate.
Deputy Wheaton's Gator Call 2021
You may have seen this gator in a few viral TikToks recently, but it doesn’t get better than this angle from Deputy Wheaton’s body cam! 🐊On March 31, #teamHCSO and MyFWC Florida Fish and Wildlife received a call at 8:45 a.m. regarding an alligator under a parked car at an apartment complex in Tampa. The caller advised there was a pond nearby, but this was no small gator… it was 10’2”!!! FWC dispatched a contracted nuisance alligator trapper to transfer the alligator to an alligator farm.The gator was not harmed and fortunately, no one was injured.People with concerns about an alligator should call FWC’s toll-free Nuisance Alligator Hotline at 𝟴𝟲𝟲-𝟯𝟵𝟮-𝟰𝟮𝟴𝟲IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR — it’s mating season and in general, gators become more visible and active during spring and summer! When temperatures rise, their metabolism increases, and they start looking for food.HCSO and FWC want to make sure you know what to do in the event you find yourself in a similar situation as this one! 🚨 Keep a safe distance 🚨 Keep your pets on a leash and away from the water’s edge🚨 Swim only in designated swimming areas during the daylight (gators are most active between dusk and dawn)🚨 NEVER feed a gatorYou can learn more at MyFWC.com/Alligator#HillsboroughCounty #FloridaGator #Alligators #FWC #FloridaFishAndWildlifeConservation #HCSO #HCSOd1 #Gator #Aligator
