“Florida man” is an internet term we’ve probably all heard about at some point, with plenty of articles taking over news outlets about the many outrageous antics repeatedly happening in the state of Florida. There have been plenty of shenanigans that famously took place in the Sunshine Shine, from people stealing food by shoving it down their pants to people performing cartwheels while attempting to flee from police. 

One story that took the world by storm in late September 2021 was about Eugene Bozzi and his impressive animal-handling skills. He found himself in a pretty horrifying situation one day when he saw an alligator in his neighborhood. Bozzi bravely stepped up and, using some creativity and quick thinking, managed to trap the large animal in a trash bin. Thankfully no human and no animal was injured during the entire ordeal.

The story went viral with people all over the world calling the 26-year-old Army veteran a hero for helping keep his neighborhood safe. Many people even branded him with the nickname Alligator Man, but it seems like Bozzi may be in need of a new title. In October 2021, Bozzi once again performed an unofficial neighborhood watch in Mount Dora, Florida, and made sure that everyone in his area was safe and protected.

Video footage emerged showcasing Bozzi wrangling a large snake that he had spotted in the grass outside, once again putting himself in a dangerous situation with an animal. Read on to find out more about this famous Florida man and his most recent act of bravery.

In September 2021, Bozzi found internet fame after managing to trap an alligator using just a trash bin before he quickly and safely released it in a nearby bushy area with a body of water, according to USA Today. He was branded a hero and easily recognized for his courageous actions, and it seems like he is still doing everything in his power to look out for his neighbors.

On Oct. 9, 2021, Bozzi shared a video on his Instagram account of him wrangling a snake with just a broom, a towel, and his bare hands. With the hashtag #alligatorman, he captioned the video, “D*** snakes in the house and grass lol. Returned to his area in the dark lol yikes.”

The video showed Bozzi carrying the snake under a towel as he held it at arm’s length. According to the Miami Herald, the veteran wore the same kind of attire he had on during his encounter with an alligator the month prior, which consisted of a T-shirt, baggy shorts, and athletic sandals with socks. People once again commended him for his selfless bravery.

On Oct. 12, 2021, Bozzi uploaded another Instagram video with an update on the snake situation. “My snake friend came back,” he joked, explaining that they had worked out their differences. Speaking about the alligator incident with Philadelphia magazine, Bozzi expressed that he “honestly didn’t have any fear” and that he just acted to protect his family. It seems like he’s kept that mindset when it comes to dealing with any animal thrown his way.
