Florida alligators strike again. Recent TikTok posts that were broken up into two parts show an unwelcome visitor at a new construction site.

The videos — part one was posted Saturday and part two was posted yesterday — show a man with a tool used to wrangle the animal in hopes of getting him out of the place.

He approaches the massive gator in the corner and gets the cord around the Alligator's neck. In pursuit of dragging the animal out of the site, the alligator tosses and turns and continues to flip in an attempt to break free.

The video is utterly terrifying, many viewers say, while others realized the reptile only had three legs! Oh, and you can't forget the guy in the window recording on his own device in a hard hat getup.

#florida #alligator alligator was not harmed @allnativefl

"Sooooo no one is going to mention how the alligator has one missing leg🤨," a user replied.

Someone else made a joke saying, "whatever they're paying that guy it isn't enough," and the creator said he does it for fun.

Many joked about the colleague outside who was just watching, agreeing that would be them in the same situation.

The first video received 1.6 million views, while the second garnered just over half of that at 65K views. Though, the latter clip has a closer view of the gator.

Part 2 Y’all should do me a favor, hit that like and follow button😎 #florida #alligator

One person asked, "bro why am I so stressed watching this". Many wrote they won't move to Florida for this reason.

The creator commented that the gator was relocated to a facility that had an opening for it.
