*Wayminute! Is that a big azz alligator carrying a dead human body in its jaws while making its way down a canal in Florida?

Umm, er, yes, that’s exactly the situation as the nearly 14-foot-long animal was seen in a residential area in Largo, near Clearwater, Florida.

The frightening sight left many neighbors in disbelief, as alligator attacks are uncommon in the area.

A man named JaMarcus Bullard told reporters he was on his way to a job interview when he saw the reptile in a canal near 134th Avenue North and 121st Street North.

“I could tell there was a body in his mouth, so I started recording,” Bullard said.

Here’s more via Sandar Rose:

Bullard called the Largo Fire Department, which was stationed nearby. As emergency personnel approached at 1:50 p.m., they spotted the alligator in the canal with the victim.

Officials with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission dragged the gator from the water and shot it “a few times,” Bullard said.

The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that both the victim and the gator were dragged from the canal.

Meanwhile, an autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death of the human who is yet to be identified, police said.

Jennifer Dean, another resident of the area, said that while alligators were often seen in the area, the one she saw at the scene was the biggest she’d ever seen..

“A lot of my neighbors were out here and they’re the ones that told me about the gator,” resident Jennifer Dean told News 9.

Unprovoked alligator attacks are sporadic, and fatal ones very rare.
