Living in Florida means learning how to deal with the unexpected, and this example is no different, as a TikTok user records an alligator roaming across an airport runway.

The video, recorded by TikTok user alidrake1 and posted on the AccuWeather X account, showcases the reptile quickly moving in front of the moving aircraft.

In the video, the user exclaims amusement at what appears to be a 10-foot alligator scurrying across the Fort Myers runway and into the grassy knoll.

A runway attendant distances himself from the alligator, attempting to guide the creature away from nearby aircraft before the video concludes.

While the dateline of the video read Fort Myers, upon review of the video, the airplane’s tail numbers, N821CN and N822QS, were grounded at the Orlando Executive Airport on Sunday.
