A video posted on Facebook appears to show a horse attacking a gator at Paynes Prairie near Gainesville.

"Horse attacking a gator at Paynes Prairie," Krystal M. Berry writes on her Facebook post. "I'm still shaking."

The video shows the horse grazing, with a few other horses, behind it, when it trots toward a large alligator in a field nearby and stomps it. The gator strikes back, appearing to bite the horse in the leg.

The two then separate.
