WATCH: Alligator Tries To Bite Florida Woman's Paddle Board At State Park

A tense encounter between a bold Florida woman and an upset alligator was caught on camera.

Vicki Reamy Baker said posted photos and videos of the scary incident to Facebook, which shows the reptile swimming toward her while she was on a paddle board. She even claimed it tried to bite her board while she was with friends at Silver Springs State Park over Labor Day weekend, according to WOFL.

"Gator tried to eat my board. Someone has been feeding him and made him very dangerous. He was a big boy," Baker wrote on Facebook.

Within the first ten seconds of the video, Baker tells the gator to "go away" before pushing it back with her paddle. The gator responds with an intimidating hiss.

"Ma'am, I would suggest backing up considering you just made him pretty mad," someone is heard telling the woman over a megaphone.

"Why are you messing with me? Why are you trying to bite me?" Baker tells the gator as it keeps getting close to her. Eventually, it does swim away to another side of the swamp.

She also told reporters she had to paddle "very fast" just to get away from the reptile.
