Alligators

"I kept thinking I was going to die out there," one of the women involved said.

The alligator began to try and pull me back into the water. I was trying to pull back away from him, too. Because when an alligator has its grip on you, their next move is to try and do a death roll.

"The individual was videoing the alligator and walked up to the water's edge while the gator was still fully immersed," said Department of Natural Resources Assistant Chief of Wildlife Sam Chappelear.

The woman was reported to have been about four feet from the edge of the pond before she was dragged into the water by the alligator.
