Video: 12-Foot Alligator Spotted Strolling At Florida Mall Captured https://ift.tt/1HEby4F A 12-foot alligator weighing 597 kilograms was recently found strolling at a mall in Florida, US. Taking to Facebook, the Lee County Sheriff's Office shared a video of the alligator being rescued from the Coconut Point Mall in Estero. In the caption, the department informed that the gator was spotted strolling behind the Five Below Store, following which MyFWC Florida Fish and Wildlife responded to the scene and rescued the massive reptile. "Just moments ago, Sergeant Toslluku, Deputy Cevertus, and Deputy Roedding were called to a 12 foot, 600 pound gator at Coconut Point Mall! Our friends with MyFWC Florida Fish and Wildlife responded to the scene, and in a joint effort, we got this massive guy to safety!" the caption of the post read. "There truly is never a dull moment while on patrol here in Lee County, eh? If you're chompin' at the bit to get into law enforcement, we promise excitement and a great workout here at #TeamLCSO," it added. Watch the below: The clip shows a group of people picking up the alligator and transferring it into a truck. The Lee County Sheriff's Office shared the video just a few days ago and since it has garnered several likes and comments.

The footage showed a Florida man attempting to trap an alligator in a garbage bin that had ventured into a residential area. The man seen in the video was seen approaching an alligator with an open trash container. As he made his approach, the alligator gradually retreated, and in the audio, he was heard saying, "Let me know when the head goes inside". The man successfully managed to trap the reptile inside the container by lifting it and closing the lid, eliciting cheers from nearby onlookers who were witnessing the action. In the end, the man wheeled the bin down to a nearby lake and released the alligator into the water. The gator moved fast to get away. https://ift.tt/q1jD2x4 December 28, 2023 at 11:46PM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

"Rs 6,000 Loss": Man Takes Cab To Reach Destination After Train Runs Late https://ift.tt/QAIjtld During holidays and festivals, excessive crowds and train delays are common occurrences. However, it gets worse in winter due to fog and loss of visibility across north India. Several trains are delayed or cancelled. A Kanpur man recently shared his plight on X (formerly Twitter) after his train was delayed by nine hours. He stated that he had no other choice but to hire an interstate taxi from Kanpur to Jhansi to avoid missing his connecting train. Even though he had a verified Tatkal ticket that he purchased for Rs 1,500, unfortunately, he had to spend Rs 4,500 for the cab journey to get to his destination on time. "The train that I have to take at 1.15 pm at Kanpur arrived 9 hours late. I had to catch Rajdhani at Jhansi at 8.15 pm. So I came to know about (the train being) late at 2 pm. I have no other option other than taking Ola for Rs 4,500. And the Tatkal ticket was bought for Rs 1,500. Total Rs 6,000 loss," the user wrote on X on Wednesday. The train that i have to take at 13:15 at Kanpur arrived 9 hours late. I had to catch Rajdhani at jhansi at 20:15. So i came to know about the late at 14:00. I have no other option other than taking ola for 4500 rupees. And tatkal ticket is 1500 total 6000 loss — electron (@vinodepurate) December 27, 2023 Several users also shared their experience with train delays. “My bua went from Delhi to New York faster than I went from Delhi to West Bengal (train is 16 hours late),” said a user. Another added, “I am travelling from Nagpur-Hyderabad train number 12724 Telangana express -Hyderabad express. Train was supposed to come in the morning at 7.10 AM but arrived at 3.30 PM. I have my night shift at 8 PM but train is running 9 hrs late, who is responsible for my Loss of pay?” Meanwhile, a user stated that he had to stand throughout the entire trip despite having a confirmed ticket. In a post, Abhas Kumar Shrivastava described the initial challenges of navigating through the crowded Rourkela Intercity train to reach his designated seat. Upon reaching his reserved seat, Mr Shrivastava discovered a pregnant woman occupying it. Rather than requesting her to vacate the seat, he opted to remain standing by the train door throughout the two-hour journey. “Reserved a seat 4 days prior and got a confirmed ticket. It was only after somehow entering the train I realised I couldn't even reach my seat number 64,” he wrote. “After an hour when I reached my seat, I found a pregnant lady sitting on it, so just left and stood at the gate for two hours.. Thank you for so memorable a journey and a confirmed ticket to let me stand for the entire trip.” https://ift.tt/LuCas86 December 28, 2023 at 09:39AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com
