Moral of story - don't answer door to reptiles you don't know

A Daytona Beach man was bitten by an aligator at the front door of a human house last week.

Gator apparently under stress from roaring Harley Davidsons

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials said the man answered his front door, an aligator was there, and it made a lunge with snapping jaws. The man was bitten in the thigh.

7-foot, 10-inch gator. Not really considered big, unless you are the one with gator clamped to your thigh.

"The resident opened the front door after hearing a noise, believing it was someone looking for his son. The alligator lunged and he was bitten in the upper thigh," said Daytona Beach police spokesman Carrie McCallister.

The foul mood hypothesis

Alternative narrative...this is the mating season for Florida aligators. With no luck on that front, the guest gator was in poor temperament.
