The FCW trapper quickly came up with the plan and demonstrated to the officers what they needed to do while holding the head of the alligator with his foot.

One of the officers got a hold of the alligator’s foot while the other held the feet of the alligator. The trapper then got a hold of the alligators head and another foot.

All three of them lifted the alligator together and quickly moved in in the boot of an FCW vehicle, pitching the alligator inside.
