Massive alligator surprises Naples family in their backyard pool

A normal afternoon in a Naples backyard turned into a split second reaction. Living in Southwest Florida means lakes, palm trees, beautiful weather… and sharing space with wildlife. Alligators are native to Florida and commonly live in freshwater canals and neighborhood ponds throughout Naples and Collier County. This is a reminder that waterfront living in Florida comes with responsibility. Always supervise children near water and never approach or feed wildlife. #NaplesFlorida #SouthwestFlorid
