Here’s How to Catch an Alligator With a Trash Can
When Malik saw an alligator in front of his house, he did something very brave and creative. He knew that he needed to protect his family, so he decided to make sure the alligator left his property quickly. He wasn’t going to wait around for animal control or simply hope the alligator wandered away. No, he took matters into his own hands.
With the help of a garbage can, the kind used for trash pickup by a garbage truck, Malik faced the alligator and basically ate the creature with the trash can lid. The whole ordeal was captured on camera. His family and onlookers can be heard in the background laughing, talking and cheering him on.
At one point in the video, Malik makes a request. He says, “Someone let me know when the head’s inside.” When someone off-camera informs him that the alligator’s head is inside the trash can, Malik takes action.

Some viewers are appalled that Malik scared the alligator and put him inside a trash can, but one person on Twitter commented with a follow-up to the story reassuring viewers that the alligator was safely relocated.
He did exactly that. Rolled the bin across the street, down a hill and straight to the water. Gator happily slithered in and brave dude happily ran up the hill with his empty bin. See his instagram norfphilly_geno for longer video.
