maybe it thought the plane was a seagull
weird

in 2017, an alligator tried and died from attacking a Cessna 172 as it landed at Orlando international airport. the alligator was crossing the runway and then as it saw the plane it jumped at it. in the end the gator died and the plane sustained some wing damage
did it happen like this?...
pilot: we are arriving at are destination.
alligator: oh look! a piece of chicken on the runway!
ten seconds after...
plane tower: is everything alright!? are you ok!? what is your visual problem!?
pilot: well we have no injury's, but the wing is broken slightly, and there is a dead alligator in the middle of the run way!
