Police in Florida found a human arm inside a 3.6metre-long alligator in Florida after a woman walking her dogs went missing, likely attacked and killed by the reptile.  

A witness says he saw the woman walking her two dogs and later saw the dogs barking near the water, but did not see the woman again.

It took authorities more than five hours to capture the reptile.

Florida is known for its huge alligator population, there are more than one million in the state.

The most recent attack happened two years ago when a 2-year-old boy was playing near the water at a Walt Disney World resort was killed.
