A determined alligator put up a fight when animal control officers in South Carolina tried to wrangle it from a front porch.
The gator was seen doing barrel rolls in the front yard as three officers attempted to trap it, hissing every time the officer in its line of vision approached.
Another officer comes up from behind and positions himself on top of the gator.
