An 87-year-old Florida man is recovering after being bitten by a massive gator.
The 7-to-8-foot-long alligator bit the man at Lake Beresford, near DeLand, on Sunday morning.
The man's hand and leg were bitten, but he was alert and conscious. Authorities transported him to a local hospital.
Deputies were called to the northeastern part of the lake, near the 1800 block of West Beresford Road, just before 10 a.m. It is unknown whether or not the gator in question has been captured.
Further details have not been released.
