A bloated 14ft alligator has been captured on film after the animal dragged a woman into a canal and killed her in Florida.

Sabrina Peckham was eaten by the alligator in Largo, Clearwater in September last year.

The footage - obtained from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) by Fox 13 - shows the aftermath of the horrific attack.

Peckham was homeless at the time and had been staying at an encampment close to where the alligator was located.

Witness, Jamarcus Bullard was the first to find the bloody scene and called law enforcement when he noticed what appeared to be body parts in its mouth.

Footage shows police attending the incident after the alligator was shot to death.

The creature's stomach is visibly bloated with the 41-year-old woman inside.

Another video shows the moment the alligator was killed by officers.

The monster was pulled from the water after witnesses saw it dragging its prey away.

Officers taped the animal's mouth shut and used rope and chains to remove it from the canal.

Emergency services had to rip the side of its belly to remove some of Peckham's remains.

Just two months before the incident, Peckham was reportedly arrested on July 14 for trespassing on the wetland around half a mile from where she was killed.

On September 8, she reportedly ignored warning signs placed around the area and pleaded no contest to the misdemeanour charge.

At the time, her daughter, Breauna Dorris shared a tribute on Facebook which read: "No matter how you put it, no one deserves to die like this.

"To my mother: I love you more than I ever expressed, I miss you more than you'll ever know and I pray that you are looking down over me and your grandchildren.

"Please protect us. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I pray you are at peace and you are no longer struggling or hurting. I pray you found momo and pop and you all are watching down from above."
