Alligator in Florida snatches drone mid-air, smokes billows from his mouth after.
The footage, reportedly filmed in Florida, shows shows the moment the alligator snapped its jaws shut around the small drone. However, the device likely combusted moments afterwards, as the video shows smoke billowing out of the animal’s mouth.
In a caption accompanying the video, the drone operator confessed they were trying to get a close-up shot of the animal and thought that drone sensors would help keep it a safe distance from the alligator.
“We were trying to get a close up of the gator with its mouth open and thought the obstacle avoidance would make the drone fly away. [It] was only our second time using the spark,” wrote the drone operator.
