Moment alligator snuggles up to wheels of US Air Force plane i

In a tale that could only happen in the Sunshine State, a daring alligator was wrangled to safety after snuggling up to the wheels of an US Air Force plane in yesterday.

The reptile made a surprise appearance at Tampa's MacDill Air Force Base on Earth Day, and was captured on video resting below an aircraft before being jostled away by conservationists.

In footage shared by MacDill on their page, the unexpected visitor can be seen slithering onto the tarmac and slinking near the aircraft, seemingly eyeing it as a prime nesting spot.
