It’s not everyday that you see an alligator snagging a drone out of mid-air, much less the footage being shared by Google CEO Sundar Pichai. This video was originally posted by TikTok user @devhlanger, and split into two parts. The first part features George the alligator catching the drone in mid-air and bring it down into the water. The second half has the large reptile trying to eat the device.
As you can see in the video above, the unmanned aerial vehicle begins to smoke as George chomps down on it. Fortunately, George eventually gave up so there are no injuries to report, but the drone on the other hand, didn’t quite make it out of the ordeal. Everglades National Park, where this was filmed, clearly states on its website that drones and other unmanned aircraft are not allowed.

It’s a new activity and park rangers in the field could tell people didn’t have very much or any experience with these unmanned aircraft. These devices often crash, and if somebody is standing in the way when one crashes, people are going to get hurt. Drones have also been used to harass wildlife,” said Jeffrey Olsen with the Park Service told Public News Service.
