Shot on 8mm film in 1977, this archival footage captures a dramatic scene of an alligator thrashing in floodwaters, creating swirling ripples across the surface. The purple-tinted, grainy image shows the animal moving through murky water near a wooden structure, with frost-like patterns visible on the film. The scene transitions to a wider view of an industrialized area with wooden platforms and machinery, suggesting a flood-affected site. This vintage home movie offers a rare glimpse of wildlife in a natural disaster, evoking a sense of urgency and nostalgia.
