One particularly determined alligator was caught cutting through the fence of a golf club with terrifying ease.

Meteorologist Matt Devitt posted the footage from the gulf coast town of Placida and it has attracted millions of views on Facebook.

The creature can be seen sizing up the fence before thrusting its head through the bars.

The aluminium posts come apart as the alligator ploughs its whole body though.

Before long it’s only the animal’s legs and tail that remain trapped outside the golf club.

Explaining how the alligator was able to force its way through so easily, Devitt wrote on Facebook: “This is an aluminium fence after I was able to confirm with the person who shot the video.

“Aluminium is still considered a lightweight *metal* for post accuracy.”

The fence assault came weeks after an 85-year-old woman was killed by an alligator in Florida.

Gloria Serge died after she was mauled to death by the 10-foot gator that emerged suddenly from a lake.

The animal later captured and euthanized after the attack.
