Florida Alligator Knocks on Doors, Gets Stuck in Chair With Deputies Watching

Florida alligator knocks on doors in Lee County, then manages to wedge its head into a folding chair on Tortuga’s porches—May 14 footage shows deputies and a trapper wrangling the polite but perplexed reptile, quoting neighbors’ baffled reactions to its strange etiquette.
No other gator in the Tortuga community has ever tried door-to-door visits while sporting accidental folding-chair headgear. Deputies called it a “suspicious gator” in their viral post, igniting social media curiosity around “weird animal encounters” and leaving the neighborhood with an oddly respectful story to share.
