A man was attacked by a nearly 7-foot alligator while on a morning walk in Naples, Florida, Thursday, officials said. 

The man was taken by helicopter to a hospital after he was bitten on his leg by the reptile just after 5 a.m. near the Forest Glen and Golf Course community, the Collier County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) said in a release shared to Facebook. 

His condition wasn’t reported. 

One of the deputies treating the man at the scene watched the alligator head back toward a lake, telling a trapper his location.

The female alligator, who measured 6-foot-9, was safely trapped and removed from the community, the department said.

“It is alligator mating season, and CCSO urges residents to be cautious around bodies of water and vegetation where an alligator could have a nest,” the department said. “It was not known if this female gator had a nest near where the attack occurred.”

The department added that alligators are most active between dusk and dawn, “so plan accordingly to reduce the chances of running into them.” 

A 69-year-old woman who was believed to have been walking her dog near a lagoon in South Carolina was killed by an alligator on the Fourth of July.
