A South Carolina woman heard a noise at her front door and got the shock of her life: A seven-foot alligator was waiting on her porch.

In this video, you can see how vicious the gator was, who was also rather presumptuous. The woman went to her door after hearing a noise and then turned on her outdoor light to find the visitor.

It was led off to a truck and will, hopefully, never to show up at this woman’s door again.
