Alligator SCARE!! Florida Everglades Never Fails to Amuse and Terrify 😳
Watching a Florida alligator gar (type of fish that is NOT an alligator) stalk a @Rapala Skitter walk and got the surprise of our lives in the Florida Everglades!!
You know we're from Cape Coral but, we took a day trip to the Everglades and drove around checking out fishing spots with a plastic @RapalaSkitter walk (lure), targeting Peacock Bass. We had spent a few minutes canvassing the water before we began fishing and filming... but gators are stealthy ambush hunters. As soon as he saw our guards were let down, he emerged and scared the sh** out of us!
Yes, we expected to see Gators.
No, we aren't tourists. Believe it or not we were all born and raised in the FL wilds. Just got startled by a neighbor 😆
No, we did not feed, touch or harass this gator.
Yes, to your last question. Just yes.

Just wanna thank all ya'll for the love AND the hate!! But mostly for all the stories you guys have left of your own encounters! Hilarious and terrifying!
The girls were hilarious, glad you made it out alive lol
I don't see anything
The only ones playin was the people.....i guarantee you that alligator wasn't playin. He was sizing you up whether he could take you or not
Very cool eye opener lol.. what a rush!!!!!!
Was that staged?
Pro tip for anyone new down here: if you see a body of fresh water, assume that there is at least one decent sized alligator in it, and you probably won’t see it in time
ESPECIALLY in the Everglades. That is literally their territory.
Just because theyre lazy doesnt mean you wanna swim next to one
I've never been to Florida, but I've just always assumed that every body of water down there probably has a gator hidden in it.
@@Kjklump no but many will. And even if there isnt one, theres always the rumors.
Fact, I do that for any big amount of water in Florida 🤣

Hahahahahaha! Good one!
You know what's really scary? If you know where to look you can actually see the gator at about 0:05 seconds in. It's actually not staring at the girls/camera at all, but at the guy fishing, then turns its head to look over at the camera and then reposition for optimal striking distance. You can see the slightly paler outline of its mouth as it moves its head. Opportunistic predator in action.

I've caught a gar with a plastic hook actually :D it was about 3.5 to 4 foot long and it was breaking my lines all day. It was therapeutic to finally catch it lol. Didn't even know what was doing it but turns out it was a gar. It was right by the docks too.
The guy was baiting the gator, thats what the gator was after. It didnt stalk or even notice the humans. i lived in the area and baited many gators, they will not even notice humans about to step on them(1st hand exp)
Love this. Thank you.

For anyone who doesn’t know, particularly in rivers in Florida, you are also likely to run into bull sharks.
Not many people know that bull sharks can actually survive in freshwater. Australia has them and attacks have even been reported in lake Michigan!
@@getkrawnwalled5625 yep we had a couple up in the Illinois river before
@@lt54 fact or cap?
I’m in Queensland Australia, there’s bullsharks everywhere, lakes, creeks golf course water traps
You’re not likely to see one, but it’s definitely possible
The 2nd time I watched it, I realized I didn’t notice the gator for at least 10 seconds the 1st time around.

I used to live in Florida working for Gatorland. I remember all my coworkers telling me, if there’s a body of water larger than a puddle, there’s probably a gator in it. Love these dinosaurs.
Ol gatorland. I went there about 4 years ago. Sweet place 👍👍

Fuck that, even puddles can have these beasts in them.

Florida is Such a Wonderful Place to Visit Online
I’m born and raised in Florida and still to this day every time I drive past a lake/pond I look for gators and I always find one just chilling on the edge of the water or floating on top. It’s unsettling when I see people swimming or tubing in the lakes. Just a few months ago near my house a guy got mauled to death by gators by retreating his frisbee that landed in the lake.
Those people are usually not from Florida 😂😂 100% of the time.
As someone who’s recently moved to Florida, the best tip I can pass to others is: assume all bodies of water have something dangerous. Even the ones that flow behind some houses.
I lived there for two decades, and I can attest to that.
@@funkyweapon1981 yeah these mfs are BOLD out here. Raccoons are way too capable with their opposable thumbs and shit.
THIS
@@johnperic6860 agreed. I’m much more likely to see a gator. A cottonmouth could be inches from me before I’ve noticed. Or I might step on it.
That's interesting, do people just don't swim in lakes/rivers in Florida?
I’ve lived in Florida for 25 years. When I was young I swam across a fairly thick river with my brothers to get to a tree swing. I’ll never forget once we swam back and started walking through the woods we looked back over into the river and saw multiple 6 footers not far from where we had just swam. I’m honestly amazed I’m still here. Good god 10k likes!? Thank you so much for my most liked comment!
Who set up a tree swing in gator water? Sheesh lol
They must have been full from the last swimmers
They don’t really bother anyone in the day so I’m not surprised. I’ve swam with some in sight at the Everglades Holiday Park and they go on about themselves.
The chances of a 6ft alligator attacking you are slim to none. They would have to be on the verge of starvation.
Knowing Florida that rope swing is still there too.
I was alone in my 12 foot boat traversing the 100 miles of the Wilderness Waterway in Everglades National Park when I saw the most massive alligator I’ve ever seen in the 50 years that I’ve lived in Fla. It was like some dinosaur from the distant past. I was crossing Chevelier Bay on my way to Possum Key where I planned to camp when I saw the beast swimming not 25 yards from my boat. It was considerably larger than my boat. I’d estimate it to have been 18 feet and over 1,000 pounds. It was quite a reptile.
That would be the biggest gator ever. Possible but more likely 13 or 14 ft which is massive. If it was 18 ft it would most likely be a salt water croc.
That’s a pretty wild claim. The biggest gator on record was 19 feet so if it was around that size it’d have potential to be the largest alligator ever discovered.
@@deanmarten Well you'd know better than the person who was there wouldn't ya.. Why is it so hard for you to believe that someone saw an exceptionally large animal? I went to HS with someone who was almost 8 feet tall. Wanna call bullshit on that too?
@@aarongregory4980bc fishing stories are notoriously exaggerated. And American Crocodiles get massive. Much bigger than gators.
@@williambeilfuss8138 yep
The fact that they keep waving the bait around after they've spotted the gator...no maam, couldn't be me
Considering all the stories I've seen about gator attacks in Florida, I would not consider it to be overly-cautious to simply never go into an open body of water in Florida.
Nah got to get them bass bro
I've never had a problem fishing around gators and I fish out on alagator ally during the spring and summer time . I have seen 12 to 15 footers out there but as long as you keep an eye out for them and don't harass then you will be ok . Was at a park in coral springs fishing and a gator was off to my left by the walking bridge about 15 feet from me when these kids syarted throwing rocks at it . I told them not to do it but they ignored me and came down by men then one hit it ij the head with a rock and it came running right past me chasing the kids who ran all over the place . It then turned around and walked right pass me then swam out into the lake . I told the kids next time you throw rocks at a gator they just might catch you . I can't stand stupid people who do stupid things like that
Born and raised in Florida, lived her for 31 years and our beaches lakes and springs are absolutely amazing. My dads first lesson he taught me was never be the first one to jump in.
The ocean is pretty safe along the beaches…
@@chippewaguy4193 visited Florida for a month. Springs were the best thing I've ever had the chance to swim in. Water feels heavy. It's awesome
Apparently they're not from the Everglades like many of us Floridians. The fact that you're shocked at a gator sitting here looking at you means you need to be better aware of your surroundings.
I think the video is planned out . I only visit Florida every so often and i know there is a 99% chance of seeing a gator in that kind of setting .
I can look in my backyard and see way worse stuff than this When I was little I almost ran over a 6 foot gator on my bike in my backyard
@Attiram floridas just built different lol
Exactlyy 💯
Maybe the women in the video are from out of state visiting whoever the fisher is? Cause he certainly isn’t phased - he casts out another line from the exact same spot near the end of the video.
The way he just lifted his head up the water and just stared at you.... like it’s waiting to eat you 🥶
Taking “when you see it” to a whole ass level
When I was young and foolish. A buddy and I swam across a very large canal to hunt for shruums in a cow field. We jumped on a culvert that size on the far shore, chasing big fish out of it. Explored the field, came back and we're looking at tracks in the mud before the needed swim back across the canal. Saw a 6 inch gator track We figure that's a 5 footer. My buddy is talking all bravado. Then we see a larger track. A track that wasn't there when we first crossed the canal, as in less than five minutes ago. Putting my large hand in the very deep track there was still about 6 to 8 inches. Now we are thinking about a 14 foot or larger gator. Suddenly, that dark water that we had no choice but to swim, looked very different!
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Did you die?
@@tvrizzle1 He probably did. It was a huge gator.
Florida? If that doesn't chill your spine I don't know what will.
@@tvrizzle1 yeah, he died. He’s ghost writing now.
I was on a middle school canoe field trip at a state park in FL. Our canoe tipped over in an area too deep to touch bottom. When I was trying to get back in, thankfully, I felt an underwater tree or log of some kind that I was able to push off of and boost myself back into our little boat. As soon as I got into the canoe. immediately, came up a VERY large gator. It wasnt a log I stepped on… it was he or she. 😳 The gator looked at us and sank back down. I still get the heebie jeebies thinking about it. I like to think he was just a benevolent gator, lending a helping hand… but I know I was just dang lucky.
thats genuinely insane you easily couldve been grabbed by that same leg/foot you pushed off of it with and drug to the depths. Glad you were fortunate enough to only get a good story out of the ordeal!
That is pretty terrifying. You are very lucky.
Baby you almost got death rolled 😶

You lucky fuck. How the hell are you still alive?!?
Years ago I dived into a canal at my aunts place in the Caswell neighborhood of Orange Beach, AL. Long story short: I'm swimming underwater with goggles on and came nose to nose with a big ole gator like this. Never moved so fast in my life. Luckily I didn't look appetizing to em'.

I collect surface water samples here in FL and when I come across a gator, they will usually slip beneath the surface or just swim away, unless its a young juvenile, then sometimes they will hang around out of curiosity and watch me work. This one looks to have no fear of humans. Nice vid.
Thats sounds like a pretty awesome job
So, in your opinion, they would rather avoid humans than consider us 'food'?

I'm from the UK and live near the New Forest, a national park where ponies, donkeys, sheep and pigs etc roam freely and cars often have to stop to let them cross the road. One of my fondest memories of Florida was seeing cars stop to let LITERAL DINOSAURS cross the road, was such a cool experience for me.
Im from the north and remember going to the newforest and being hyped by seeing all the roaming animals. We just get the occasional frog by us or maybe a fox
Big up new forest
We get them almost year round in Hilton Head and surrounding areas. Better to let them cross than damage your car
Hope you know they're not dinosaurs but birds are. And we let em cross the road
They’re not the closest thing to a dinosaur, bird are the closest relative
Yes they're there. I worked for Florida Refuse between Winter Heaven n Lakeland FL. around the Saddle Creek. On some mornings you could see them in the yard.

Meanwhile, the gator is probably thinking, "I'll just chill right here. If I get too close, I might contract some of the stupid."

Back a year before Katrina, my brother told me when he lived in FL, he went in this deep swamp area fishing with a buddy while drinking beer, and ended up pulling the canoe through multiple areas of shallow swamp. Night fell, and they continued to fish and drink. Then they started noticing things glowing just above the water using their flash lights. First a couple then the whole damn area lit up like a city, nothing but glowing eyes at surface of water. I kid you not. Some over a foot apart. They somehow canoed back very sober.
Wow.... That's scary !
lol it's for sure a fast way to sober up
They experienced something very thrilling and scary
Swamp at night in Florida? Absofuckinglutelynot. Those eyes could've been fucking spider eyes at that point too. Nope. No thank you. I've spent my nickel in Florida, I'm not going back!
@@kevinburns8473 wow bro I been here a year and I didn't know at night was so bad in the swamps...thankfully I'm in Broward county and haven't been to the swamps yet
Have been in Florida for a trainings camp with the canoe national team. We paddled on a river full of alligators and manatees. Fun experience. Always exciting when you saw them popping up and down right in front of you or when some of us fall into the river...never saw someone swimming faster than canoeing
I remember crossing this swamp bridge behind our house in north Florida where a bunch of gators hung around and we’d toss them stale bread and stuff - as if they were little ducks haha. It was only until some dude with a dog told us that this some Dalmatian fell into the water one time and got eaten. We stopped.
One year I was in Louisiana for a summer vacation with my dad. Seeing all the sights he saw when he was younger. It started to rain and the family we were staying with let me borrow an umbrella to go for a walk. I found an old train car flatbed that had been set across a canal to let farmers onto the field so I figures I'd step out onto it out of curiosity. I knocked a few small pebbles into the water and instantly there were bubbles. A moment later a gator surfaced, looked at me for a moment, took in a deep breath and submerged back into the muddy canal. It was the color of a McDonald's iced coffee. Or milky hot chocolate. You couldn't see through it to save your life. Needless to say I stayed the F away from all bodies of water in that state unless otherwise stated that it was safe water. Even then my eyes were peeled.
Great description. I could picture the whole scene vividly in my mind. Thanks for your well written comment.
FL or not, situational awareness and critical thinking will keep you out of alot of trouble being an oblivious dumbass will get you in big trouble/6feet under. example... a woman almost died from a water moccasin (sp?) bite, because she decided to jump in a pond without paying attention... (to people or looking around), she got bit and was VERY lucky a fish and game fellow was able to get her help... her husband was screaming about killing the snake for trying to murder her on and on.. its a wild f-ing animal.. and she swam within 2 feet of the pads it was sunning on and hunting fish from.... (they are fun to watch and dont generally approach humans...generally...but she got close enough it saw a threat so.. yeah..), also seen a few times people nearly got mauled by bears by... not paying attention... mind you, these bears are... more like big dogs in how they act most of the time..but around huckleberry season is also when they tend to have cubs, if you want to pick berries, you need to pay attention and avoid bears, even some mother bears wont show aggression unless they think your a threat to them/the cubs, but some will charge at sight of a person too close, again thankfully enlarge, they dont attack people..and will move away if humans get loud and move alot, but theres always that one idiot you see who damn near get themselves killed at least once if not several times in a single season... genuine "whats wrong with your brain?/do you even brain? type stuff... one gal ran for over a mile after the bear stopped chasing(pretty fast, it sat down and just looked at her dust trail like 'hot damn, that one could move' and went back to eating berries... her husband went after her on foot... came back having passed more then one mile marker... and... i heard him lecture her about watching for and avoiding bears, the idiot woman pretended to listen/pay attention/understand and... clearly had not at all... or was just that dumb-stupid... could be either honestly... i saw that more then a few times in my youth..im sure its gotten worse... people seem to lack the skills needed to survive in the real workd these days even mroe then the 80-90's when i was a kid/youth... and some people i grew up with... couldnt make easymac without f-ing it up...

That is a good one
0:05, if you watch the lower left very carefully, you can kinda see the weeds and stuff in the water moving where the gator eventually pops up
I like how it rises out like “haha, gotcha”
Now I know why I saw no fish swimming in that pool. I'm from Pennsylvania where thankfully we don't have any gators up here, but traveled to Florida a couple of months ago and I've heard a long time ago always assume that any body of water in Florida no matter how small has gators lurking below the surface.
Good policy
It's a good rule of thumb. Have actually found a baby gator in a puddle after a heavy rain before. Sadly phone was dead (family dropped it) at the time so no pictures. Left it alone because momma gator was not far
Same rule goes for Australia, arguably moreso considering crocs are more aggressive
From Pa too, I wouldn't be surprised to see a gator to climb out the Schuylkill River.
@@lynnmitzy1643 Hopefully that's a sight I never see as I spend some time in and around that river up on the northern branches in Schuylkill county.
I live in Florida and there is a large freshwater reservoir near my home where I have lived all my life. At the park where the body of water is located there is also a disk golf course that is quite popular. I don't play disk golf but I like to ride my bike on the trail that loops around the lake. One day I was riding by one of the early holes on the course, one in which many people lose their disks due to the design of the course. There were two men waist deep on the water probing the bottom with their feet in a attempt to recover the disks they lost. I almost didn't say anything but decided they may have been from out of state and didn't know any better. I told them that I wouldn't advise that as there are several large alligators 9 foot plus that I have seen in the last few months near where they were wading around. I was assured that it was fine, they knew what they were doing and to mind my own business. I said ok, and finished my ride and went back home. A few days later there was a article in the news paper about a man that had been seriously injured in a alligator attack at the same park. Not only that but the article said that the guy was bit once sustained a minor injury then decided to go back in again, at which point he received a more serious injury which required hospitalization. True story, I am a Florida native and won't go in lakes at all I would advise that you don't either!

And remember everyone….they can quickly get out of the water and run after you on dry land too. So don’t think you’re safe just because you’re out of the water.
They can get really fast on land too. But twice as fast underwater.
Would be an extremely unusual circumstamce for them to chase large prey outside of water. If you see a gator running it is to get into a body of water as fast as possible.
@@jichaelmorgan3796 naw not really. There incredibly territorial. And if it's a mother around her babies she will absolutely come out of water to charge Anything that intrudes.

I like to think the gator had no real intention on attacking them, but wanted to show off its stealth. Almost a way of instilling some humility in them. Like "I could've ended you, remember whose territory this is"
He was just curious or has been fed by people. He's not big enough to be aggressive unless it mating season or something.

Homie just started elevating higher until his head poked out like "you said sum?"
I was wondering when she would notice him 😂… like GIRL, LOOK!!!
wow…i saw that gator like 8 seconds before she reacted….i was surprised how surprised she got because i thought she knew she was filming the gator the whole time….after rewatching the video i see on the side on the video one of the girls was sitting down dangling her legs off the bank….and that gator was just getting ready to make his move
Omg! You’re right! I missed that and had to go back and see where you were talking about. Geez, they were about to be lunch! Scary!
I don't see a girl dangling her legs. Care to help please?

@@mellamodiego8458 Oh now I see it. Thank you very much

Hearing her say she shit herself reminds me of an old joke involving sharks. Young shark asks Dad why they make circles around humans before they attack them. Dad replies “Simple, it’s because they taste better when they aren’t full of shit “ 😂😂😂
Best dark joke I ever heard 🤣
Bro that joke is terrible, but logical, lol
I was bass fishing off the bank in South Carolina and had a gator take my bass from me as I was about to land it. Then proceeded to slowly eat it in front of me. It was a big bass. Gators will eat your fish and bite your lures. Don't be surprised when they watch you fish. They are incredibly smart
That sudden appearance was especially damn terrifying for a non swamp person like me

Clearly why your a loser
My family has property in the swamps of SW Mississippi. I remember fishing behind the camp and regularly seeing alligators. As teenagers, we thought it was fun to feed them food scraps. This went on for many years and the gators started associating our presence with food. It got to the point that when we fished, they would grab the fish from the line. If we did manage to reel the fish in quick enough, the alligators would give chase and stop at the water's edge, which was a few feet from where we stood. They had zero fear of people and became so brazen that we had to start whacking them on the head with our fishing poles to make them retreat At the time, they were 3-5 ft. When those same alligators grew beyond 7-8 ft and started building nests on the banks near our fishing spot, we finally took notice of the potential danger. Most of us had children of our own and stopped fishing there altogether. My grandfather peddled fish on the side and continued to do so after he retired. I'd go with him to run his lines. We always knew which gators we fed because they would linger around the boat, waiting for us to toss them a small fish. Looking back, if this had been public land, we'd have done an injustice to the alligators by taking away their fear of people and they most likely would've been killed. As much fun and entertaining as it was, I wish we would have left them alone.

Funniest confession I've ever heard : I s*** myself.😂😂😂
The way the video zooms in right as the gator is surfacing is a great representation of what it's like to become distracted.

Hello my dear friend. that was perfect. Thank you. I am waiting for your next movies. I hope that your channel will become a million.❤❤
This is one of the many things my friends didn’t understand when I moved from Florida to Colorado, they’d wanna jump in a random lake and I’d be pretty unsure about it. They didn’t know why until I explained that in Florida unknown bodies of water are crawling with gators and your unlikely to escape scar free if your stupid enough to jump in. They also thought it was so weird when I was talking about how we couldn’t shower or use the sinks during storms because my mom was scared we were gonna get shocked. What a odd little place Florida is, miss it down there.
Forgive my ignorance, but why can't you use the water supply during storms? Something to do with contamination from storm run off/ sewers backing up?
@@behemothfan1990 I think it was because of electricity in the storm or something? Might somehow get in the piping or some weird shit and electrocute them. At least that's what it seems like they were afraid of.
@@behemothfan1990 we used a well, so during the lighting storms if we turned on a shower and lightening struck close by the water could become electrocuted.
@ja hh That is not a myth. Look it up if you're unsure. Lightning can easily travel through pluming. Also lightning hitting bodies of water where the lightning discharges on the surface of the water and lightning striking a water pipe or nearby ground are concepts that don't relate.
Seems like an improper grounding issue. Rain and thunder and lightning storms happen everywhere and that should not happen if your house and everything is properly grounded. I live in central Illinois and we get plenty of bad storms and I have showered and run the dishwasher and other appliances many times and never a problem.
Frightening how a reptile that large can so stealthily emerge from unbelievably shallow waters. 😮
Tbh they’re just kinda blind, I noticed him/her the moment they panned closer to him
0:07 can see it move
I'm not sure he did sneak up though. They never show the place he's at until right before they notice him, and he's obvious rught when they pan over his location. He could've been sitting there the whole time.
@@lilwolfie4214 ya right, which pixel?
@@invictuz4803 at 0:07, you definitely can see the gator start to come up right before they zoom. Bottom left side of the frame. Blink and you'll miss it though
That's amazing how he just snuck right up to you thanks for putting posting the video
Hearing "guys i jus shit" while I'm taking a shit is priceless
All fun and games until that gator comes sprinting out of the water for you. Especially one that's watching you without being watched.
highly unlikely behavior, it was probably just waiting for scraps because people throw food to them all the time so they wait around where people are
@@Scooterbeerrun It'd a joke bro, don't take it so seriously.

Frankly, I am glad they experienced it so that they can understand that there are a lot of wild animals in Florida.

My cousin and I was fishing at Green Wood lake in Greenville SC. Fishing off the long peer . About dust dark. We started to pack up and call it a day. We started down the peer. And noticed. Gators . Laying on the peer. We had to wait there until the game warden. Came to help us off the peer.
My grandparents own a lake home in Panama City. Once When I was 11 I decided to go swimming in their lake. We were all fishing and swimming and having a great time and after awhile it was time to go in because they always told me to never swim when the sun starts to set because of gators. It was time to get out and everyone went in and I didn’t follow. I was in my own world, snorkeling and being a kid. 40min goes by and I hear screaming and yelling to get out of the water. My whole family was on the dock signaling me to get out because their was a 6ft gator about 10ft from me just watching me. When I started to swim to the dock the gator went down into the water to come after me. My dad went on the other side of the dock to start hitting the water and the gator floated back up to the surface. I was able to get out of the water safely. A dog from the house next to us heard all the commotion and must of saw the gator and started barking on the neighbors dock and the gator slowly started swimming over to the dog. I’ll never forget that day and any chance my dad gets he shares the story how I almost died. It’s one of those life moments that sticks with you and makes you realize how lucky you are to be alive. I’ll never forget it.
Wow! What a story...I got chills reading that.Thanks for sharing.
why don’t you ppl LISTEN or have common sense lol
@@sluglow6357 he is 11 that time.............
@@staRRk-ot6di you didn’t LISTEN when you was 11? You was dumb at 11?? Your brain couldn’t comprehend when someone tells you not to do something cause it’s dangerous at 11? Lol dam
Gator attacks are extremely rare. Just cause it was swimming in your direction don't mean it was gonna attack you 🤣
“You create a diversion by being cute and sniffing the lure and I’ll grab them. We’ll both have lunch.” “Okay, just don’t do the shark music this time”
🤣🤣🤣
Magnificent creature. Honestly, I’d be scared shitless but the alligator 100% wasn’t after the fisherman- he wanted the fish and had probably had luck stealing fish from humans before. He’s just after some free food.
I like how he pops his head up like “did you shit yourself?!”
They blend in so well down there. Perfect ambush predator. Always assume there's at least 1 gator in every body of water that'd love for you or your dog to be a snack
22 years removed from Florida and my head is still on a swivel when I approach water.
Wow, I want to move to Florida, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, etc, it doesn't matter really, but am afraid of gators. According to your remarks, you've seen enough of them, and probably had some close calls. And I hear horror stories, and so no way I'm moving to Florida. I'll stay in Calif with bears, mountain lions, at least I might see them coming.

About 15 years ago I jumped into a lake and at the last second saw an alligator float by about 5 feet away. By some miracle I was able to contort by body mid jump and landed closer to the edge of the water and ran back to our campsite as soon as my feet were able to touch ground . Haven’t been to the lake since.
Pero eso lo hiciste en ingles o en español
I smell 🐂💩
About two seconds ago, I had to teach somebody that gators aren’t going to just randomly eat anything in the water- you were fine, but understandably scared. Everyone here saying to not even touch bodies of water in FL: there is LITERALLY a 1:3,100,000 chance of being attacked.
My family has lived in Florida for centuries, particularly South Florida. My dad always says “Anything the size of a swimming pool, assume it has a gator,” which is often even true for pools. Really, he just meant that they could be anywhere, which is true. No reason to get surprised by them!
It's amazing that they seem to be able to keep them out of Disney World. I'm guessing it's a lot of bigger vigilance with the fencing and a lot of monitoring inside.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade they're not able to keep them out of disney actually. They try but they still sneak in.
I don’t even step in mud puddles.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade there was a huge thing a few years back when a gator killed a kid in Disney
@@Chiemontyr Yep. It was a Disney resort. I actually visited the resort about a year after the incident and saw the area where it happened.
"OMG I just shit myself I'm not kidding" - "Jessica we both saw that at the exact same time" 😂😂😂
Interesting how she managed to see it after the kid said alligator.
Had something almost identical happen to me in the Everglades 4 years ago over Christmas. Was looking at a gator and a herron sitting on the same log and next thing you know there’s one right near the bank almost completely camouflaged. They’re sneaky creatures
Manatees can sneak up right next to you as well. Luckily they won't pull you into the water and rip you apart.
