This is the dramatic moment eight police officers captured an alligator on a road in Florida.

The group of deputies carried the 14ft (4m) reptile off the asphalt in a residential area in Sarasota County.

Footage shows a gator trapper holding the snout of the 600lb (272 kg) predator while officers lift the animal and haul it to a grey pickup truck on December 3.

Neither the reptile or any residents were harmed in the encounter. Police later released the animal at an alligator farm.

Alligators are opportunistic carnivores, eating pretty much anything they can catch. They often hunt fish, turtles, birds, and small mammals.
