FORT MYERS, FLA. (AP) -A woman after her morning coffee was jolted awake with pounding on her front door. Then she discovered two alligators fighting in front of her Florida home.

The video of the surprising encounter in Fort Myers was posted on Facebook last week by Susan Geshel. When she first saw the reptiles before 7 a.m., Geshel told The Fort Myers News-Press that one of the alligators had his snout pinned on her door while the other was stationed at a distance with its snout wide open. One of the alligators clamped its jaws on the other’s body and pushed it to the wall as it moved away from the house.

“They made a mess on the front door,” said Geshel, who had never before seen alligators on her property. After about 20 minutes one of the alligators crawled across the street to a neighbor’s home while the other disappeared from the area, perhaps to a nearby pond.

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Spokeswoman Melody Kilborn said the fighting alligators were reacting to being in a confined space.
