Photos Viral: Man Rescues 9-foot-long Alligator From Swimming Pool With Bare Hands 

In a bizarre case, a man rescued a 9-foot-long alligator from a swimming pool in Florida. The man has been identified as, Paul Bedard of Gator Boys Alligator Rescue, who received a phone call stating that an alligator was in a swimming pool.

The surprising part is that he rescued it with his bare hands. The alligator weighed between 180 and 200 pounds.

While speaking to Fox News, Bedard said “the alligator was mellow when I caught him. I named him ‘Cool Hand Luke’ because the gator was so mellow and so cool. He didn’t try to get away from me, he didn’t try to come after me, he was just really cool. He’s got a real mellow personality".

Bedard, who has been working with alligators for about 30 years, further stated that he had not rescued an alligator of this size from a pool.

While rescuing the alligator, he documented the whole thing and posted it on his Instagram handle, along with seven photos. This whole rescue operation took about 20 minutes.
