Yep. Once had a family from Iowa visit us, their 10 year old all excited as we are driving from the air port to our house talking about seeing a gator in Florida. My mom says "You know gators don't just cross the road every single day here" to try and curb his expectations a bit....naw, 45 seconds later a small 4 footer ran across the road in front of us from our neighbors area into our front yard. My Dad and I pissed ourselves laughing so hard...
As a lifelong Florida resident I can confirm this. Gators don't give a single f about human traffic. they'll come, Park their big ol' dino butts right across all Lanes of traffic until they're happy and then they get up and leave.
@Repent! Hope not, a straightened path outside my house leads into thin air and a nasty drop to certain death. I'll stick with the mighty DEVIL for now.

@@c64116 You can ask whatever you want to, but there's no bashing or hate going on here. It's an American of seemingly pretty average size, so he's a mid-sized American. If this was about alligatoris in Bosnia, he would have called him a mid-sized Bosnian.
You are truly a great man for taking the bull by the horns and and tackling cancer with such a great fund raiser. You did these children a solid and saint like act. Thank you Ozzy man
Wow man imagine how shitty it must feel to do something very heartwarming for sick children only to have people who don't do anything close to that say it wasn't genuine.
As someone who grew up in South Carolina, I would say the demographics of Florida and South Carolina are very different. South Carolina is a typical deep south state and Florida is basically just old northerners that retired and moved south lol
@@lylemoore3827 you're very wrong... North Florida, the panhandle through a big chunk near Georgia is very southern. Honestly I can't tell the difference from a panhandle/gulf resident and your typical south Carolinian living somewhere like mount pleasant or Beaufort.
Ozzy Man is a true legend. If we were in medieval days, minstrels would be singing his praises and he would never have to buy an ale again. ~3/4 Million raised in a month. The world be be a much better place with more folks like Ozzy Man...
Yeah, the gators don't really want any trouble. They're just tryin' to assimilate and live in harmony...well most of 'em. There's a bad guy in every crowd.
@Cipheiz Lake Alice, near the college in Gainesville, surrounded by mowed grass and apartments, had a good size gator. A lady took her yapper dog out for a walk on one of those extending clothes-line leashes The line ran out behind her, and she kept on walking around the little lake. Then there was no more line. She looked behind her and the line ran into the water. Screaming and pulling didn't work. When other walkers helped pull, the line came out of the water, but no puppy. Oops! there goes another one! To be fair, there were "Warning! Gators!" signs all around the lake. Maybe she presumed that meant the local football team?
Hey Ozzy Man, start with saying you always bring the smiles, legendary. I've loved everything you've done for years now. Love you supporting the cancer awareness as well, my wife was diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer few months ago and its been extremely rough for her and our family, lucky she's a strong spirit and so are our kids. Keep it man!
As a Canadian, I found the commentary amusing but the video terrifying. Why do people just hang out mere feet from these monsters?! I can't imagine seeing one just wandering across the lawn. 😳
I love Chubbs, he's awesome and never bothers anyone..I'm so relieved that everyone in the community is invested in protecting him..I live in the area and am an animal lover, and conservationist, so I know you dnt see these giants very often (in my area). Not to mention the record for the biggest gator is 15' 9" (in Alabama) so Chubbs could beat that if he's left alone. It's really refreshing that the community supports him❤
My family's from the Mobile, Alabama area, and I've had a few gator encounters. What this video lacked was a clip of an adult gator doing super speed. That's a petrifying spectacle to behold!
AND you're not allowed to mess with them, since migratory birds are protected, but the gators aren't. A gator in the road, you can shoo off, but if you mess with the cranes, you're technically breaking the law.
My best animals in the road story involved a duck that got hit by a car, which attracted vultures, a few of which got hit by cars, which attracted MORE vultures. Within an hour of the initial duck death, there were like 30 black vultures just COVERING the entire roadway.

The horse and alligator piece is from about 4 to 5 years ago. This happened at the LaChua Trail (part of Paynes Prairie Preserve) in Gainesville, FL. The horse was young and curious. There are bison and horses that roam freely amongst the prairie. The prairie is forever changing (droughts, floods, overgrowth, ect.).
I've been living in Florida for almost 40 years and Yes Gators do stop traffic now and then , but the most common thing is gators in people's swimming pools , besides on the golf courses where you'll find a gator somewhere during your round most likely.
Bruh I was playing at Kiawah Island and I didn't even notice there was a 6 foot alligator about 10 feet from me and my ball. When I realized it was there, I most definitely shit my pants.
Oh for real?? I've been there once. It's right on the way to my buddies house. Had a buzzard swoop down and almost take my head off riding my motorcycle on that road, had to hug my tank! Looked back at the people in the car behind me and they were wide eyed shaking their heads. Like, what were you thinking bird?? That wouldn't have ended well for either of us lol.
I live in Florida......west coast......in my very neighborhood there are 4 medium sized gators. 7 or 8 footers. They pretty much lay around and eat. Rules for gators: leave them alone and they'll leave you alone. And during mating season if you hear a "gator growl", leave the area. Mama gators have no chill. Also went to the University of Florida....GO GATORS!!!! There are dozens and dozens living on the campus itself, mostly around Lake Alice. All sizes. Again, don't feed them, don't bother them, stay way from their nests.
I trudged through the swamps of Fort Stewart and never had any issues with the gators. They were always chill and didn't mess with you if you didn't mess with them. The wild boar were what truly scared me out there!
I'm in the uk, but I love watching these big old fellas lumbering around Florida, like they own the place....which they DO really! Lol How do people get on, if they have a dog or cat? Just interested. Thanks
Well done Ozzy Man for the money you raised, your heart is more massive than that massive gator. Massive respect for raising that massive amount, it will help many families!

@@aina3387 As a parrot owner I can conform that you are spot on 100%. (Owning a bird is like having a two year old flying psychopath with a pair of very sharp scissors and a screaming volume compared to a truck horn.) 🥴
@@NickanM lol yep. I had parrot and whenever I would play videogames with my friends, she would get jealous and throw a temper tantrum with that screeching blowing everybody's eardrums out.
yeah gaters must have a timer set in their brains. doesnt matter where they are when that timer goes they put on there deal with it shades and take a nap. which i find hilarious.
I live in Florida and love to kayak where there happen to be many alligators on the regular. I'll take skittish alligators over aggressive crocodiles anytime.
It’s Larry the Alligator on the golf course. He was relocated to Gator Land in Kissimmee. The second one crossing the path at lake Hancock in bartow Florida. Actually saw him last spring
I lived in Wilmington, North Carolina/Carolina Beach, NC (about an hour drive from Myrtle Beach South Carolina) and we had gators there too! Me and the misus took our niece To a place called Greenfield Park, which had a huge lake in it, but there were signs everywhere warning "NO SWIMMING"/"DANGER: ALLIGATORS", and gators there were... Anyhow, we had our infant neice there, in a stroller, and our pet bearded dragon (an Aussie lizard!), with us, so she could get some sun... Anyhow, while seeing gators there was not uncommon, they were generally a little smaller than the Florida one's, though our climate was not that much different than Florida... still, we are further from the equator, so There is some difference in climate, but I digress. On this particular day, there was a big, fat, Florida-sized, 16' foot (6-7 meters?) gator sitting on the shore of the lake, right by the kids playground area, where a bunch of 'bogans' (to borrow an Aussie term) were allowing there young children to get within a few feet/1-2 meters from these surprisingly fast killers... in fact, I, a "city-slicker" from Chicago, had to kindly warn these parents, that it's only a matter of time that this decievingly "slow-moving" gator, locks it's eyes onto one of theses young'uns, standing right in front of it, and immediately switches to lightening-speed mode...snaps it's jaws on to one of these youngsters, before retreating to the water an going into a barrel-roll, as they do with their prey, to disorient, and likely drown them, before eating them, and once that happens, there is not much of anything you can do but watch in horror. Thankfully most of the parents listened to me... I'm guessing that, like myself, most of these parents were probably originally from up north, where we don't have alligators walking the streets... people who grew up in the Southeast United States KNOW how deadly and cunning these creatures can be!
Yeah I can confirm here in Central Florida the Gators are big and they’re in every pond on my ranch. They are all sizes from tiny 3 foot ones to the one you opened the video with. I don’t let my dogs swim in those ponds. I set up a small pool just for my dogs so they don’t get near the ponds. I always carry when I’m out on the ranch not just for Gators but the snakes. Cottonmouths are everywhere and they’re nasty things. Very aggressive.
I know how to tell the difference with alligators and crocodiles... just tell them you'll be back in a minute, if they say "see you later" it's an alligator, and "see you in a while" is a crocodile...
Man I was playing golf in Wyndham, WA some 25 years ago I hit the ball into some reeds where there was a little pond of some sort, there was a croc in the reeds. As you say in Australia, yeah nah I wasn't having any of that and that was the end of the game for me.
@@SusanKay- I didn't suddenly want anything to do with the game, I went to the club house and had a smoke instead. Unfortunately for the environment that ball is still there to this day probably.
I remember as kids, myself and all the other Florida children would go to the Lakes, rivers, springs and creeks to go swimming and there were almost always alligators swimming near us. There was a massive alligator that swam under my kayak once and flipped it. You tell these stories to other Floridians and they share their alligator swims with you. I moved to Australia 3.5 years ago and I've shared these stories with the Aussies around me and they're mind blown that I'm still alive. And those birds that were picking on the alligator, they're the reasons for traffic jams in low traffic areas. So not necessarily the alligators being picked on, but the birds themselves are the problem. You'll be waiting for them to pass for about 15 minutes and if you get out to scare them off, they'll chase you. I'm honestly more scared of the birds than I am the alligators.
That second gator is in my hometown! And that baby gator being herded by the cranes is also in my town. Best episode ever! And yes, alligator traffic jams are common.
1:58. Alligators and those specific cranes actually are a pretty common reason for traffic. There have been tons of times where I had to come to a stop because a family of those cranes were casually crossing the road like they fucking owned the place. I actually recognize that lake, too. I live near that area.
@@SusanKay- Naw, they're not so bad. Don't mess with them, and they won't mess with you. But uh, do have situational awareness during mating season lol.
@@SusanKay- it does seem that, while they're less aggressive than crocs, they also just invade our spaces anywhere they damn well please (the golf courses, your apartment complex's pond, your backyard). While I feel like crocs stick to their rivers/inlets
I’m from South Carolina and just played golf in Florida it was awesome to see gators enjoying the nicely kept grass of the golf course. I wonder if the PGA ever thought of adding the moving hazards to their courses more permanently it would definitely make it more watchable maybe even compete with the NFL.
Most traffic jams in FL are caused by people from other states who are lost, and are driving their mini-vans slow in the left lane because they got lost on their way to Disney World.
@@TechWiz717 horses have very brittle bones, and breaking one is a death sentence, especially if it's a leg. That makes them very nervous around anything small. No answer regarding gators, though.
A horse's main defense is running away, but they will fight fiercely if they think it's necessary. Also, each horse has his own likes and dislikes. I have a sorrel (red) horse who hates dogs. Our neighbor's dogs once barked at him from behind the fence, and he turned around and flipped his hind feet at them in a display of the saltiest body language I've ever seen. Completely unfit for polite company. I've also seen him strike at a dog with a front hoof.
Gosh OZman, glad to see you still have interwebs and can get word out from prison and all...seeing as zee german gestapo has got OZ land on lockdown allegedly
@My Dixie Wrecked we have it here too, (Alabama) but it always seems like the rich folks are the ones that get the tags. ... Not that it ever stopped us before... Lol when we go frog gigging an get off in the budlight pretty heavy the next thing you know you're diving off the bow onto a gator on his turf lol. They only have about 30 seconds of fight in them before they go limp, but man what a ride that is. Don't let go! Lol

Yeah, the few gator attacks that happen are usually wrong place, wrong time sorta thing. They have plenty to eat, no need to risk taking on another predator. Heck, a lot of people swim in the lakes. And I like to call them "crazy." lol
At 0:43, that gator is at not on a golf course but at Circle B preserve in Lakeland, FL….about 15 minutes from my house. He’s well known in the area and just kind of meanders around doing his thing. Awesome to see my city in an Aussie man review without it being for some crazy Fl man!

Honestly OzzyMan, you're a diamond of a human living amongst rocks, keep on shining and doing you mate❤ love from the UK

Cheers mate for the call out for helping and the alligators look freaking huge compaired to Australian crocs
Weird thought, but does anyone else think alligators are pretty cute when they just plop down?
yeah gaters must have a timer set in their brains. doesnt matter where they are when that timer goes they put on there deal with it shades and take a nap. which i find hilarious.
I live in Florida and love to kayak where there happen to be many alligators on the regular. I'll take skittish alligators over aggressive crocodiles anytime.
We've come to that point when putting Florida in the name pretty much explains and describes the craziness behind whatever you're describing.
Flora Bama Shore SNL ‼️®™️ 😂😂😂
It’s Larry the Alligator on the golf course. He was relocated to Gator Land in Kissimmee. The second one crossing the path at lake Hancock in bartow Florida. Actually saw him last spring
I lived in Wilmington, North Carolina/Carolina Beach, NC (about an hour drive from Myrtle Beach South Carolina) and we had gators there too! Me and the misus took our niece To a place called Greenfield Park, which had a huge lake in it, but there were signs everywhere warning "NO SWIMMING"/"DANGER: ALLIGATORS", and gators there were... Anyhow, we had our infant neice there, in a stroller, and our pet bearded dragon (an Aussie lizard!), with us, so she could get some sun... Anyhow, while seeing gators there was not uncommon, they were generally a little smaller than the Florida one's, though our climate was not that much different than Florida... still, we are further from the equator, so There is some difference in climate, but I digress. On this particular day, there was a big, fat, Florida-sized, 16' foot (6-7 meters?) gator sitting on the shore of the lake, right by the kids playground area, where a bunch of 'bogans' (to borrow an Aussie term) were allowing there young children to get within a few feet/1-2 meters from these surprisingly fast killers... in fact, I, a "city-slicker" from Chicago, had to kindly warn these parents, that it's only a matter of time that this decievingly "slow-moving" gator, locks it's eyes onto one of theses young'uns, standing right in front of it, and immediately switches to lightening-speed mode...snaps it's jaws on to one of these youngsters, before retreating to the water an going into a barrel-roll, as they do with their prey, to disorient, and likely drown them, before eating them, and once that happens, there is not much of anything you can do but watch in horror. Thankfully most of the parents listened to me... I'm guessing that, like myself, most of these parents were probably originally from up north, where we don't have alligators walking the streets... people who grew up in the Southeast United States KNOW how deadly and cunning these creatures can be!
You are not just as funny af, you've got a good heart/soul. Thanks for your content.😊
0:30 *There's* *a* *midsize* *American* *for* *scale*
yeah no that's definitely the lightweight edition
Yeah I can confirm here in Central Florida the Gators are big and they’re in every pond on my ranch. They are all sizes from tiny 3 foot ones to the one you opened the video with. I don’t let my dogs swim in those ponds. I set up a small pool just for my dogs so they don’t get near the ponds. I always carry when I’m out on the ranch not just for Gators but the snakes. Cottonmouths are everywhere and they’re nasty things. Very aggressive.
I know how to tell the difference with alligators and crocodiles...
just tell them you'll be back in a minute,
if they say "see you later" it's an alligator, and "see you in a while" is a crocodile...
2 of the dislikes are from the horses that were scared of a bunny
Man I was playing golf in Wyndham, WA some 25 years ago I hit the ball into some reeds where there was a little pond of some sort, there was a croc in the reeds. As you say in Australia, yeah nah I wasn't having any of that and that was the end of the game for me.
@@SusanKay- I didn't suddenly want anything to do with the game, I went to the club house and had a smoke instead. Unfortunately for the environment that ball is still there to this day probably.
I work around wild gators a lot everyday in CentralFlorida. If they come to you, they've been fed and/or hungry. Most of them run away.
The fact these Alligators live in Florida, makes them dodgier than any creature down under!!!
I call b*******, down under animals are pretty f****** scary
@@roberttownsend2291 scarier yes, dodgier no…
That's a Bold statement my friend.
IDK, Queensland is basically the Florida of the South Pacific
@@porsche911sbs were you born on 12 Jan 1992?
Seeing the gators puttering around the green is awesome!
They climb fences to get into your pool. I've seen it!
Those roads and open grasses are probably. like heat rocks to these guys lol
I see ozzy man's video notification "super speed activated"
I remember as kids, myself and all the other Florida children would go to the Lakes, rivers, springs and creeks to go swimming and there were almost always alligators swimming near us. There was a massive alligator that swam under my kayak once and flipped it. You tell these stories to other Floridians and they share their alligator swims with you. I moved to Australia 3.5 years ago and I've shared these stories with the Aussies around me and they're mind blown that I'm still alive. And those birds that were picking on the alligator, they're the reasons for traffic jams in low traffic areas. So not necessarily the alligators being picked on, but the birds themselves are the problem. You'll be waiting for them to pass for about 15 minutes and if you get out to scare them off, they'll chase you. I'm honestly more scared of the birds than I am the alligators.
Last time i was in Florida some alligator was at the toll station, with that I knew humans were no longer the dominant species in this planet
Was it collecting fees?
They can actually move pretty fast but when they get in front of a car they go super slow or just lay there 😆.
As a Florida man myself, I can say that I have definitely had to wait for an alligator to cross the road before
#swampProblems. lol. We've all been there : )
That second gator is in my hometown! And that baby gator being herded by the cranes is also in my town. Best episode ever! And yes, alligator traffic jams are common.
I'm thinking the gators have no interest in golf. only golf courses constructed in their front yard.
Those Alligators are very brave getting that close to those Floridian Humans.
1:58.
Alligators and those specific cranes actually are a pretty common reason for traffic. There have been tons of times where I had to come to a stop because a family of those cranes were casually crossing the road like they fucking owned the place.
I actually recognize that lake, too. I live near that area.
@@SusanKay- Naw, they're not so bad. Don't mess with them, and they won't mess with you. But uh, do have situational awareness during mating season lol.
@@SusanKay- it does seem that, while they're less aggressive than crocs, they also just invade our spaces anywhere they damn well please (the golf courses, your apartment complex's pond, your backyard). While I feel like crocs stick to their rivers/inlets
Ozzy, Thanks for your leadership.
It's simple the gator's trying to be a human like us.
So, first monkeys turn into humans, and now gators?!
I’m from South Carolina and just played golf in Florida it was awesome to see gators enjoying the nicely kept grass of the golf course. I wonder if the PGA ever thought of adding the moving hazards to their courses more permanently it would definitely make it more watchable maybe even compete with the NFL.
Most traffic jams in FL are caused by people from other states who are lost, and are driving their mini-vans slow in the left lane because they got lost on their way to Disney World.
Well that and the ridiculous amount of elderly drivers.
Horses : Scared of leaves blowing in the wind
Also Horses: Stomps on massive alligator that could eat its leg in a second
Horses what the
They’re huge pussies around rabbits too, I really don’t get horses lol.
Horses love to practice their flamenco dancing skills on gator heads. Its what they do.
@@TechWiz717 horses have very brittle bones, and breaking one is a death sentence, especially if it's a leg. That makes them very nervous around anything small. No answer regarding gators, though.
A horse's main defense is running away, but they will fight fiercely if they think it's necessary. Also, each horse has his own likes and dislikes. I have a sorrel (red) horse who hates dogs. Our neighbor's dogs once barked at him from behind the fence, and he turned around and flipped his hind feet at them in a display of the saltiest body language I've ever seen. Completely unfit for polite company. I've also seen him strike at a dog with a front hoof.
Grandpa was having WWII flash backs lol

Gosh OZman, glad to see you still have interwebs and can get word out from prison and all...seeing as zee german gestapo has got OZ land on lockdown allegedly
I've heard that if you post the wrong thing...the gestapo will change it for you. So they have to be real careful.

"they're def evolving, he knows how to use a crosswalk .. whoaa oh ohh .. no he doesn't"
Thank you. Seriously. Well done.
They are delicious. And a great fight of you have the balls. Wouldn't recommend going over 7'...

@My Dixie Wrecked we have it here too, (Alabama) but it always seems like the rich folks are the ones that get the tags.
... Not that it ever stopped us before... Lol when we go frog gigging an get off in the budlight pretty heavy the next thing you know you're diving off the bow onto a gator on his turf lol. They only have about 30 seconds of fight in them before they go limp, but man what a ride that is. Don't let go! Lol
@My Dixie Wrecked lol I mean you can 😂 we always did it for the fight lol
@My Dixie Wrecked such a good time 😂😂
Listening to this "FACK_NUCKLE" at × 1.5 speed is "Bladi " hilarious.
You’re legitimately the only TH-camr that can consistently make me laugh. You don’t miss a beat ozzy man
Thank you for what you do Sir
He's harboring Brian Laundrie in his belly. Arrest him!

Thank you Ozzy Man for the laughs!🇨🇦😊
the alligator resting on the crossing had to make a statement, "you may build roads on my land, it is still my land"
And also mmmmmm waaarrrrrm
"You may take away our marshland, but you'll never take away our nap time!"

how fun is it to get to play Santa and donate thousands upon thousands to deserving charities? you're an absolute legend!
Im actually gobsmacked that u only have 5 million subs even though you have been producing great content for many years.. why aint everyone hitting subscribe..
Aussie man you and everyone who donated are fair dinkum legends.
As fascinating as these dinosaurs are, my eye was caught looking over your shoulder. Do you actually have a Mullet Cap hanging up behind you?🤔 I need one!🤪😎
Yes, he does. I noticed it too....the good ol' Ozzy Man look
Great man ozzy may he continue to bless you.
I think that first gator is "Big Larry" he lives in the "Villages" area in Sumpter county! Hes a beast!
The horse tapdancing on the gators head was at Paines Prairie state park in Gainesville, FL. Its a regular African savanna out there.
All I can say it’s just another day in Florida.
If someone who’s from Floria please tell me what are the chances of alligator attacks.
I’ve lived here for 35 years and I’m out in the woods all the time. Chances are slim dude. Very slim.
Gator attacks are fairly low. They mostly like tourists..........
You can walk by them while they're sunning themselves along the bank, but do not go swimming in any body of water.
Yeah, the few gator attacks that happen are usually wrong place, wrong time sorta thing. They have plenty to eat, no need to risk taking on another predator. Heck, a lot of people swim in the lakes. And I like to call them "crazy." lol
Alligator traffic jams in florida, buffalo traffic jams in wyoming, donkey traffic jams in nevada... america is fun.
Now thats just RİDONKEYULUS
My parents live in The Villages. Always a gator around. We sit and watch the gators..lol..at a safe distance!
Boggs here from browning mt, love the hair mate👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. Love you bringing awareness to cancer. My nephew gots cancer.
At 0:43, that gator is at not on a golf course but at Circle B preserve in Lakeland, FL….about 15 minutes from my house. He’s well known in the area and just kind of meanders around doing his thing. Awesome to see my city in an Aussie man review without it being for some crazy Fl man!
Wow! I just can't imagine that!
Incredible creatures! Sooo ancient!
