The massive 10ft creature was spotted on the island of Plantation Key in Florida, USA.

A video shows trapper Todd Hardwick wrestling with the reptile in blue-illuminated pool as it thrashes around.

Watch: Bear Shocks Florida Beachgoers by Swimming Out of Ocean | New York Post
A black bear was spotted swimming next to people on a sunny day at a crowded beach in Destin, Florida, on June 11.
Footage taken by Chris Barron shows the bear walking out of the ocean next to beachgoers.
Chris Barron told Storyful the bear was swimming right beside his 12-year-old son and Chris’s brother.
“The bear was out pretty far. A lot of people started swimming in. I was worried it was a shark. I walked over and thought it was a dog,” Barron said.
“At this point I realized it was a bear and started videoing. It kept swimming in. He got to shore, shook off, and ran into the brush in the sand dunes.
“I think most people were shocked instead of being scared. No one expected to see a bear in the Gulf of Mexico.”

Florida’s ‘Dr. Deep’ Resurfaces After a Record 100 Days Living Underwater | AP
A university professor who spent 100 days living underwater at a Florida Keys lodge for scuba divers resurfaced Friday and raised his face to the sun for the first time since March 1.
Dr. Joseph Dituri set a new record for the longest time living underwater without depressurization during his stay at Jules’ Undersea Lodge, submerged beneath 30 feet (9.14 meters) of water in a Key Largo lagoon.
The diving explorer and medical researcher shattered the previous mark of 73 days, two hours and 34 minutes set by two Tennessee professors at the same lodge in 2014.
“It was never about the record,” Dituri said. “It was about extending human tolerance for the underwater world and for an isolated, confined, extreme environment.”
