Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Wednesday morning took to Twitter to retweet a video of an alligator smoking from the mouth after catching a drone out of the air. The video has reportedly been filmed in Florida, United States.
The video footage shows the alligator snapping its jaws shut around the small drone. However, the device likely combusted moments afterward, as the video shows smoke billowing out of the animal's mouth.
Along with the video was a caption mentioning the drone operator saying that he was using the device to get a close-up shot of the alligator. As per him, he thought that the drone sensors would help maintain a safe distance.
"We were trying to get a close up of the gator with its mouth open and thought the obstacle avoidance would make the drone fly away. [It] was only our second time using the spark," the drone operator was quoted.
The video retweeted by Sundar Pichai was originally shared on Twitter by Chris Anderson, the founder and former CEO of 3DR, a California-based drone company on Wednesday morning.
"Alligator snatches drone out of the air and it promptly catches fire in its mouth," Chris Anderson wrote with the video clip. The content of the video has sparked anger among many Twitter users.

Many netizens who commented on the post shared by Chris Anderson called for stricter regulation of drones, especially around animals. One Twitter user commented, "This is cruel and sad!"
One Twitter user wrote, "This is part of why it is illegal to harass wildlife by flying drones near them. This was devastating and disgusting." "I hope the people who did this get caught and fined!" tweeted another.
One person even went on to criticise Sundar Pichai for retweeting the clip. "Maybe it's nice to know he gets the same thrill out of the bizarre but enjoyable content we all find on the internet, often through his company's products," the Twitter user wrote.
