7-Foot Alligator Bites Elderly Woman While She Was Walking Her Dog In US

A 7-foot, 3-inch alligator emerged from the water and lunged at her and her dog.

An 84-year-old woman from North Fort Myers, Florida, narrowly escaped an alligator attack while walking her dog. The incident occurred on Thursday evening near a pond in her mobile home park.

The woman, identified as Boppel, was walking her Shih Tzu, Queen when she felt a sudden sense of danger. As she recalled, "All of a sudden, I had a premonition, I'm telling you," Boppel said from her hospital bed, according to CNN. "It was like, 'uh-oh.'" 

Her intuition was correct. A 7-foot, 3-inch alligator emerged from the water and lunged at her and her dog.
