I swear, the absolute most entertaining news stories always come out of Florida.

A Florida man went head to head with an alligator that was on his property with an interesting cage choice.

Abdul Gene Malik, an Army vet, took the alligator on head to head with his trash bin. I'm not going to lie, when I was watching this video, I for sure thought this man was about to get bitten. But widely, he was able to capture the reptile in the trash bin until authorities could come and take care of it.

Now, I think it's safe to say you should not be trying this at home, but the video is definitely a must watch!
