Alligator hisses as Florida motorist stops for close-up video

A Florida resident recently captured video of a large alligator walking through a Hillsborough County neighborhood, including audio of its warning hiss. This video was taken by Dustin Smith, who said he filmed it on April 30 in Riverview, Florida. “I often see alligators in other local neighborhoods in the summer, but not like this one,” Smith told Storyful. “It appears the alligator was familiar with the area, as if it had done this before.” In the video, the alligator can be seen crossing the street nearby before coming to rest near the neighbor’s lawn. As Smith pulls up and rolls down his window, the reptile lets out a series of hisses. Credit: Dustin Smith via Storyful
