The 27-second clip shows the man leaning out of his boat, beer can in hand. As the alligator approaches, he briefly touches the reptile, grabs its chin, and then uses its teeth to open the can.

The man’s friends on the boat cheer as he celebrates his daring feat, and one of them enjoys the freshly opened beer. The video is captioned, “Using a gator as a can opener.”

While alligator encounters in Florida are not unusual, this one certainly stands out. One user commented, “We saw this video in the dictionary as the definition for ‘Florida’.” Others added, “Never mess with Florida Man and his pet gator,” and “This is the most Florida thing I’ve seen all day.”

Perhaps the most fitting comment of all was, “Tell me you’re from Florida without telling me you’re from Florida.”
