The video shows the gator dominating in the fight, having a grip on the python. It begins to shake the python till its last breath and lays its weight on it till the task is done.

Kruger told media that there is always something new to be seen in the Shark Valley area in Miami-Dade.

More pictures and video of the gator can be seen on Krugers Facebook page.

On February 17, a Florida resident Geri Staples heard a repeated "aggressive" knock on her door turned her day inside out. Following a knock on her door, Staples peeked out from her window in the door. What she saw on the other side of the door, left her completely surprised.

Right behind the door, lay an alligator approximately 10-foot-long, and to Staples it appeared to be "frustrated". 

According to Staples, the alligator kept pounding on the door by its snout and she was afraid if it could break down the door and come inside.

The neighbours called for help from wildlife authorities who then killed the alligator.

In Florida, alligators become active during warmer temperatures. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has warned locals to stay alert.
