Florida Man Goes After Alligator to Get His Phone Back and Survives

Haven't we learned as a species not to mess with gators? 24-year-old Anthony Larrimore was walking on a boardwalk in Fort Myers, Florida this weekend and taking pictures of some alligators with his iPhone when he dropped it.

The phone landed in the swamp, right next to a gator. Anthony decided to risk his life to get his phone back, apparently there were a bunch of pictures of his 10-month-old son on there, and he didn't want to lose them.

The gator was making angry noises at him, and even put his snout over the phone. Anthony still stuck his arm down to grab it. Lucky for him, the gator didn't bite.

That's where his luck stopped. Once he had his phone back, it wouldn't even turn on anymore.
