Jacksonville, Florida – If you call out from Easter dinner and squeeze out the crocodile, you may need to use the tools available on-site. This is what the Florida Gator Handler did on his days off.
A video shared by Mike Dragic with Fox’s weather and video showed Sunday’s wild encounter in Jacksonville, Florida.
He said the woman had let go of the dog when she noticed a scaly tail slide of a 7-foot crocodile on the patio.
“I responded from an Easter dinner with my family and improvised the crocodile off the property using the trash can,” Dragic said.
The shoeless drug used two trash cans to hunt down a visibly angry, hissing crocodile. After getting the gator where it needed it, Dragic brought in a larger trash can with a lid to close the intruder’s case.
The woman who called Dragic can be heard cheering for him as she avoids the reptile snap jaws.
After a successful capture, the happy customers gave Dragic the high five that they deserve. He said no animals or people were injured during the incident.
