Tina Dorschel of Madison, Wisconsin was recently visiting Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in Naples, Florida. It seemed like an otherwise normal walk through nature. In her words, “…we saw a gator, a snake, frogs, pretty birds, and had this unexpected encounter.”

Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary said that panthers are very shy animals, and this occurrence is extremely rare. It’s definitely one I wouldn’t want to have.

See for yourself. It’s terrifying… and incredible.

On on early morning nature walk we saw a gator, a snake, frogs, pretty birds, and had this unexpected encounter. (Warning…curse word at end!)

What would you have done? It’s amazing that Tina was able to stay relatively calm and catch the whole thing on camera.
