July 22 (UPI) -- A Florida family woke up to an alert from their security camera and discovered an unexpected visitor: an 8-foot alligator at their front door.
Palm Bay resident Sierra Wynn shared video showing the alligator that dropped by for an early morning visit at her home off Malabar Road.
"I thought at one point he was gonna come through the window," Wynn told WESH-TV. "His tail was bouncing against the door and against the house. It was such a deep, guttural hiss and growl. He just looked so mean. I thought he was gonna come through the window."
Palm Bay police responded to the home alongside a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission trapper.
"We were scared. Terrified," Wynn said. "At one point, when he was getting kind of agitated with the flashlight in his eyes, he actually looked right up at me. He started opening his mouth and growling and hissing."
