AMAZONAS, BRAZIL — A video recorded on Thursday (July 17) by an unidentified individual shows a man carrying an alligator through the streets of the Planalto neighborhood, located in the Central-West zone of Manaus.
The reptile was slung over the man's shoulder as the person filming made light-hearted comments, joking that "dinner is secured." The animal appeared motionless, suggesting it may have already been dead.
There is no information available regarding the identity of the man or the origin of the alligator.
Under Brazilian law, the capture, transport, or sale of wild animals without authorization from environmental authorities is a crime. Penalties may include fines and even imprisonment, depending on the circumstances.
