Snakes, alligators, and other reptiles are undeniably frightening, and encounters with these wild creatures can be fatal. Despite the risks, many individuals are keen to get close to them and attempt daring stunts. Recently, a video of a Florida man using an alligator to open a beer can went viral. This daring act took place in the middle of the sea.
The video shows the man leaning out of his boat with a beer can in hand, enticing the alligator to approach. The reptile appears in the shallow water as the man reaches for the gator’s chin, then daringly uses its sharp teeth to open the can. His friends can be heard shouting and cheering in the background. One of them then excitedly drinks the beer in just a few seconds.
