A confused alligator paid an unexpected visit to a home in Venice, Florida, crawling all the way to the front porch of a house during the early morning hours on May 21. Homeowner Crawford B. Lewis was asleep at the time of the visit; however, the man’s Ring doorbell camera recorded the whole episode, and Lewis found it to be quite a surprise.

At around 5 a.m., the large alligator entered the porch area of Lewis’s home near the front door. The footage from the doorbell cam showed the reptile clamoring onto a bench before appearing to lunge at a sea turtle plaque decoration mounted on the wall, but unsuccessfully. Upon failing to latch onto its would-be prey, the reptile then tumbled back down onto the bench with a loud shudder.
