Watch: Florida Cyclist's Spine-Chilling Encounter With Two Alligators

The woman took a bike ride in Bird Rookery Swamp Sanctuary in Naples

Hiking or cycling in the wilderness is a great adventure, but there's no denying the fact that it is riddled with surprises - paths littered by logs of wood, bad weather or animals out in search of prey. No one would perhaps understand it better than a Florida woman, who had a spine-chilling encounter with a pair of alligators recently. The cyclist, Brenda Stelzer was riding her bike at the Bird Rookery Swamp Sanctuary in Naples. While taking a video of her surroundings, she came across two black alligators right in front of her. The viral clip has her panning the camera from one alligator to the other, but they eventually moved out of her way. According to a local news outlet, Stelzer said that she was scared but did not panic. "I was like whether I either have to shut my phone off, back up and get a running start to bike past him quickly or just dismount the bike and put the bike between me and the alligators," she was quoted as saying. As per FGCU Professor of Ecology and Environmental Studies, Dr. Win Everham, alligators spotted on trails are harmless. Many internet users, however, were petrified by the scene. A comment read, "Not sure why you're still standing around to get eaten, either cycle on or cycle home". Another one sarcastically wrote, "Those alligators barely escaped with their lives". Someone decided to add humour to the situation by saying, "The alligators are just vibing".
