In Florida, hit by Hurricane Milton, alligators entered homes.

As Hurricane Milton struck Florida, locals faced an unexpected danger: displaced alligators. One vehicle owner came face to face with a large alligator attacking the wheel when he opened the door of his car that had been swept away by the flood. This incident highlighted how the hurricane affected not only people but also wildlife.

Wildlife expert Christopher Gillette explained that alligators tend to stay submerged during the storm but may appear in unusual places afterward. Alligators are normally found throughout Florida, but floodwaters can sweep them into residential areas.

Experts are warning the public to be cautious around wildlife. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) recommends maintaining distance and behaving respectfully when encountering alligators. In case of danger, it is advised to call the FWC's helpline.

Hurricane Milton hit the state as a Category 3 storm, affecting millions of people. Experts indicate that the likelihood of wildlife being seen in residential areas remains high even after the storm has passed. The public should avoid interfering with wildlife without risking their own safety.

This incident once again demonstrated how natural disasters can impact not only people but the entire ecosystem. Authorities emphasize that the public must pay attention to both their own safety and the protection of wildlife.
