A model scientist risked death after diving just metres away from a monster alligator. <\/p>\n
Rosie Moore, who has been dubbed the 'world's hottest scientist', took to Instagram to share heart-stopping footage of the moment she came across the beast during a late-night dive in the Florida Everglades. <\/p>\n
The clip shows Rosie underwater pointing a camera with a light. It then pans to reveal what she is pointing at – a huge gator settled on the river bed. <\/p>\n

She said in the caption: "Most night 'diving' in the glades starts as a swamp trot, or just a walk through areas of high water. Some areas get deep enough to swim while hiking, so I always bring a mask.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"It\u2019s common to encounter wildlife while swimming or hiking in these areas, such as this alligator. In these situations it\u2019s important to just stay calm and slowly back away."<\/p>\n
In writing over the video she explained it was an American alligator and asked her followers: "What would you do in this situation?"<\/p>\n
"Get right up to its face for a sick TikTok shot," one person joked in the comments. <\/p>\n
Another said: "Probably flail around in front of his face." While a third person added: "First step: not be there at all. Step two, repeat step one."<\/p>\n
Other commenters were staggered that Rosie even dare get into the murky waters with the beast.<\/p>\n
One said: "Stuff like this just proves you\u2019re the next Steve Irwin in the making. Incredible."<\/p>\n
Another said: "I don\u2019t even like going in water where they could be during daylight – I don\u2019t think I could get in on this adventure activity."<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
American alligators can grow to be around 15ft-long and can weigh 500kg, making them the largest living alligator species on the planet. The species is the official state reptile of Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi.<\/p>\n
