@Loving Social Distance There have only been 257 alligator attacks since 1948 and only 23 of them were fatal. People get confused with alligators being like Nile crocodiles.
Some lakes are ok. I grew up on Doctors Lake in northern Fla and while there are some gators in there, they are culled and the big ones continuously removed. It’s perfectly safe to swim in. That said, one must be familiar with the particular body of water one is in. Retention ponds are an entirely different story…
@@BBaldwin hmm no thanks on swimming with alligators. That is what I don't like about Florida or the south. (besides being a red state & I would never live in a red state)
Alligators and Crocs can go nearly a year without eating. Just don't get your dog close. They are more interesting in doggo snacks than people, believe it or not.
The alligator was most likely coming back from a night out and was running a little late. Or it may have been visiting friends in a different lake and lost track of time.
It gives me chills thinking that 35yrs ago we used to swim, splash around in Boggy Creek behind our house, even had a tire hanging from a tree we used to jump off from, we immediately stopped after seing a huge 13 foot Gator just casually hanging out on our boat dock, now I freak out every time my doggy gets close to any puddle of water in Florida no matter how small, you always have to assume there's at least one Gator in there.
I would not swim in anything that resembles a "Boggy Creek"! I used to jokingly call my brother's backyard the Boggy Creek because it backed up to a swamp. You made me giggle!
@@waltersobchak7275 I love St. Augustine. Only been once but, it was beautiful. Never been to the alligator farm though. Went to Wiki Wachi several times. When my mom was alive, she lived in Seminole, a block from laje Seminole. I used to sit on the dock there at night, drink beer and watch the gators swim around. My sister saw a huge gator laying on the bank one afternoon. She ran to the house to get me but, by the time i got there, it was gone.
@@Godric_71 wow haven’t heard that name in a while. You remember Silver Springs and Wild Waters? Seems like forever ago. Yes my mom also 2001. From C. I was biggest mamma’s boy. Best friend in the world. People talk about this and that and closure and all that but you never do…..you never really get over. Yes it gets a little easier but also makes you kinda crazy at the same time. But you know🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️God bless you man🙏🙏🙏
In addition to all the obvious cautions, it's also important to remember that while gators look slow and clumsy, they can ~really~ shake ass when they want to, so keep your distance!
Only for a very short period of time, distance and definetely not to hunt humans. They are water animals and get overheated quickly if they run on land.
I lived in Florida for ~20 years & this sort of thing was not uncommon. I taught at UF & we had this little alligator on campus that stayed in a small stream under a bridge we walked over every day.
I was at UF in late 80s and a huge one crossed my path around Lake Alice. I just gave him a wide berth. They don't want to hurt people. They want to be left alone.
“Between 1999 and 2019, alligators killed 10 people in the southeastern U.S., according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In that same time period and in the same area, nearly five times as many people were killed by dogs, and nearly 12 times as many people were killed by lightning, he said”
@@bushman6964 But it's reasonable to assume that not all kills by alligators are identified, since the remains of their victims can stay underwater; while dogs victims remain on surface and pretty much everytime they will be found.
They've got almost nothing to fear, strolling around doing whatever they want. They are basically top of the food chain. Not like people or other animals are purposely getting near that.
Old man Higgins who normally yells at kids to stay off his lawn is literally hiding in his house as an alligator in boss mode walks on that lawn like he owns it
You gotta be pretty reckless or unaware of how gators work to get snatched up. Saltwater crocs in the keys and crocs in the glades are a different story though
It's coming up on one unexpectedly... coming around a corner...or just laying out in the sun. I can think of a bunch of different types of mishap's that could occur. I mean you can't live your life in constant fear...but I would. It's the same w/ snakes or a slew of creatures. Here in Maine ppl are often camping and make the mistake of leaving food out and bears or wolves/coyote's come, or look at Alaska....🤷 I'm curious what the percentage of sightings and mishaps are overall. I'm sure there's some website somewhere that documents these things.
What they don’t mention is that this was actually the alligators habitat before housing came and destroyed it. Humans are in the alligators home, not vice versa.
In the past no but today yes now seeing an alligator is as common as seeing a Bird and for the most part we just leave them alone they're in golf courses and residential areas it's only really on the lawn or close to serious public areas that are issues
Can you image walking out of your house to get into your car and meeting up with a 10 foot alligator?? Scary... Correction......Looks more like 15 feet...
It's almost mythical isn't it? Imagine watching a movie about dinosaurs, elves, and wizards, you then step outside for a dose of cold reality, only for your jaw to hit the ground seeing a huge man-eating reptile just swaggering by the end of your driveway. Not something you expect in your lifetime.
These animals are quite common in this region, which coincidentally is swampy. Some say they appear in the summer, so if you live in a Florida mansion, you might be surprised to see an alligator lounging in your pool or strolling through your grass.
You are absolutely right and we can't complain about insects, rodents, reptiles, birds and every living creatures that could be pestering us in the neighborhood because that is their habitat.
You could say the same thing about a lot of humans now couldn't you! Humans have killed infinitely more gators/crocodiles than these animals have killed humans. They were almost wiped out, the gators and the American crocodiles. Both are protected now thankfully. I've lived around them all my life, never a problem. You have to be aware and cautious. keep your distance.
Yeah that’s called millions of years of evolution and tbh they was here before us 🤷🏽♂️ sooo why would I kill it 🤣 just be smart and maybe it won’t kill u
And this is why gators are my favorite creatures on earth. They just radiate power and confidence. They don't need to evolve, they're already perfect. These things are playing life on easy mode.
I have only lived in Florida about 3 years and this just doesn't even phase me. Just assume any body of water will have gators in it. They have been around for millions of years.
They can run faster than a person for about 75 feet, then they slow down. Anyway not necessary to be faster than them, only faster than one other person.
What is the difference between a crocodile and an alligator? The most obvious difference is in their teeth. Simply put, when a crocodile has its jaws closed, you can see the enlarged fourth tooth of the lower jaw. In the case of the alligator, however, the upper jaw covers this tooth.
There's dangerous animals anywhere in the world. I live in Arizona and we have to watch out for rattlesnakes, poisonous spiders, mountain lions, and coyotes. So, you just have to be aware of things and just live. Go about your day.
I’m not even from the south and I can tell that alligators are much more docile and calm natured than people think. If you leave them alone, they’ll leave you alone. Don’t walk up to them and let it do its business. Mind you if I happened to visit Florida and saw one while walking, I’d still probably crap my pants, but I’d know realistically the chances of me being in danger were very very low. Crocs, on the other hand, are a completely different story. Extremely aggressive and aren’t choosy about their prey. They will attack and eat you because it can. They don’t discriminate what’s food or not food. Gators 99.9% of the time will not register an adult human as a food option. They’re too big.
DO NOT KID YOURSELF. THEY ARE NOT "DOCILE" they ARE VERY VERY DANGEROUS CREATURES. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ALLIGATOR FATALITIES IN FLORIDA, INCLUDING CHILDREN. DON'T GO NEAR THEM. ALSO, THEY DO SLEEP, AND YOU DO NOT WANT TO WAKE THEM UP WHEN THEY ARE SLEEPING.
@tac7826 im prettys sure thats sharks. Crocodillians (gators included) can stomach rotting meat and eat chunks without chewing so taste is not really something they look for. Gators are just not big enough to see humans as easy meals. I'm not arguing that an alligator cant kill a human, Im saying that a human can put up a decent fight against a gator and for them its not worth the risk if they can find easier animals to eat. Crocs on the other hand can grow above 20 feet and have been known to prey on buffalo, so humans are an easy meal for them. Lolong the largest crocodile was captured by using a full grown live water buffalo as bait.
I’m happy they didn’t do anything to it. He was just living his life not bothering anyone. So glad when we can coexist peacefully with these beautiful creatures ❤
@@TRAZ4004 I'm sorry but coexistence is apparently the Human idea of building a community on and or near the habitat of alligators, unsurprisingly being attacked by said alligators, and then shooting and killing them for being too close to a Human community that is only there in the first place because Humans decided to build on top of the them and their natural habitat. Sorry, but this is nature... "co-existing". You imply it's so horrible for Humans and alligators to live so close to one another, but who is it that needs to be the one to move away? The answer is obvious when compared to the animal that has been living in these kinds of habitats since the Triassic. You're a flabby, soft and squishy primate with no natural weapons and no natural defenses, and you're surrounded by a world full of REAL animals and predators, many having evolved for millions of years longer than you have, such as alligators. You're surrounded on all sides, if your answer is to eradicate and wipe out various species upholding a balance that has existed for billions of years and threatening their livelihood... well then Humans shouldn't be boasting about how 'smart' and 'advanced' they are.
My wife and i are moving to sunrise Fl. We are rite on a lake. I have a pitbull. I’m very nervous. Will they come out of water and attack on grass? I’m not walking my dog anywhere near the lake. But there is a big grass area by the lake.
@@aaronbirook4367 thank you. I’m from Boston and never left a inner city. I been living down here but inner city Miami and inner city fort lauderdale. So we were very nervous. Do they really come running out of water? What about the bushes. I’m on Hiatus road. By that webley park area. My wife is from Honduras and she said down there they go into bushes and all that so I’m a little scared. Should I bring a pistol at night?
Holy crap! I saw that scary looking creature at my front door, I'd head for the hills! Though, they are magnificent, mysterious, creatures, prefer them in their natural habitat. Pretty sure that doesn't entail heading towards McDonald's. Florida iguanas getting close scary enough. Man, they sidle up, drop from trees. Geckos my favorites love those little creatures.
Omg this is so scary. I’m from up north but I’m thinking about moving to Florida. Not so much now after seeing this video 😅 I’ve heard that Sarasota county has the most alligators in Florida.
They aren’t monsters, they are natives of Florida that have been around for centuries. It’s relatively easy living with them, you just have to show them some respect. If you do that they will usually give it back.
Here's why you never walk your pets, or let your kids near ponds, cricks, bodies of water in general in Florida.
@Loving Social Distance alligators are in Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas. Soo
Just don’t live in the south 😬

Just another day in Paradise !
The weird thing is that this isn't so unusual in Florida.
Who is here after Gta 6 trailer
Is that the gator on the lacoste brand?
Is anyone missing a pet?
Awh, the way he just collapsed into the water at the end. He was so tired 💔

Walking like he owns the place. So carefree and confident.

It’s their natural environment. They’ve been around a lot longer than those houses!

And?
only in leonida bro
My wife and i are moving to sunrise Fl. We are rite on a lake. I have a pitbull. I’m very nervous. Will they come out of water and attack on grass? I’m not walking my dog anywhere near the lake. But there is a big grass area by the lake.
Yes, they will, crocodilians love the water but will leave it for a meal
@@aaronbirook4367 thank you. I’m from Boston and never left a inner city. I been living down here but inner city Miami and inner city fort lauderdale. So we were very nervous. Do they really come running out of water? What about the bushes. I’m on Hiatus road. By that webley park area. My wife is from Honduras and she said down there they go into bushes and all that so I’m a little scared. Should I bring a pistol at night?
Holy crap! I saw that scary looking creature at my front door, I'd head for the hills! Though, they are magnificent, mysterious, creatures, prefer them in their natural habitat. Pretty sure that doesn't entail heading towards McDonald's. Florida iguanas getting close scary enough. Man, they sidle up, drop from trees. Geckos my favorites love those little creatures.
Omg this is so scary. I’m from up north but I’m thinking about moving to Florida. Not so much now after seeing this video 😅 I’ve heard that Sarasota county has the most alligators in Florida.
Doubtful. Although, the Myakka river is loaded with them.
How do you live with these monsters 🤦🏻
Must be a Floridian and Australian ting
@@チャーリーブラウン-w8l Also Indian, Indonesian, Malaysian, Egyptian and African 😅
With respect to what they are.
They aren’t monsters, they are natives of Florida that have been around for centuries. It’s relatively easy living with them, you just have to show them some respect. If you do that they will usually give it back.
@@Blacktooth-yr7ck THAT IS A FUCKING DINOSAUR!
I am not sure if it is a zoom lens or the person filming it is really that close.
