      It's a nice quote but I'm not sure if it is accurate in this case. People can't be expected to protect the natural environment when what they have grown to love about the space is not the nature but destructive activities, it can be just the opposite once people have grown accustomed to be able to do these things.
      Not saying it is the case here but there are people where I live who love to drive off-road vehicles in all nature areas, tearing the land up and drive right through nesting habitat of endangered species. And they refuse to stop. What they want to protect is their ability to keep on driving their vehicles, nothing else matters.

      @@quitlife9279 Right, but wrong. If people dont experience nature, even with said "destructive" activites then they'll never have that seed of wanting to protect and preserve it in the first place. If you truly want to protect nature and our planet then you can start by going after India, Africa, China, and South America for their terrible practices, and then start going after western corporations using private jets for useless reasons (in person meeting when you can do it online nowadays), and stop global trade / shipping practices for luxury goods / e-waste / cheap plastic toys. Doing all that is far far better at helping protect our planet, rather than removing activities that plants the seed of "Wow this is beautiful, and I want to protect it"

      I don’t care even if the Gator is 1/2 meters of 2-4 feet long. It can easily kill an adult human. If that Gator was a saltie then you’ll be it’s next meal. The vast differences in gators vs crocs are staggering. Nice to see a clear river too. I was down there 4 months ago but those hurricanes definitely clouded up all the of Gulf and Atlantic parts.

      Yes! I saw that too. It scared actually traumatized my son Landon. Several times that year my husband and I would be sleeping at night and Landon would creep into our room, twice clutching a kitchen knife we had forgotten to lock up after dinner or with a bottle of 99% isopropyl alcohol and a lighter. His therapist told us that his behavior is normal for a child suffering from PTSD and he’ll grow out of it. But just to be safe we have asked my brother in law to care for our dog, Mr. Snickers, until after Landon’s Bar Mitzvah.

    I am unwell & have been for the last 20+ years with acute body pain, I am constantly drawn to water, even in my dreams this is based around water mainly swimming pools for good dreams and shark dreams for my nightmares. I adore water so much that when I told my doctor I have an opportunity to live on an Island away from stress & strains but surrounded by beautiful beaches and clear waters, he immediately replied with you must absolutely go for the same of your health, I moved a fortnight later & never regret a day of it! When I was younger about 12yrs old, a group of us had gone to a huge man made pond/lake & out of no where a boy was pushed in & everybody was laughing at him, I knew the boy had serious asthma & he wasn't swimming, he was just splashing, crying help. Now as a 40yr old I'm 4,11 so can't imagine being too tall back then, but I just chucked myself as far into the pond/lake near to him as possible and I swear to God that fish with the long nose and teeth in this video? As I went under I was sure my eyes were closed but I could see that same type of fish looking directly at me! As I came to the surface and grabbed the boy took him to the bank side the cheeky begger asked me to go rescue his trainer that was bobbing about in the horrid pond water😳🤔 It took every once of courage I had to rescue his shoe knowing that I'm sure there's a fish in here with big sharp teeth ? Once I got out we all went home and my dad asked why I smelled like a car litter tray that's never been cleaned! I told him what happened and about the silly idea of a fish with teeth & my dad explained that the pond/lake I had so easily jumped in contained pike and when he showed me a picture I screamed because that was the very same fish looking directly at me when I went under. I have never and can never go into murky water because of that day. Seeing this video and how the toothy fish didn't attack or trouble you in anyway has been very enlightening. Your filming is relaxing😍

The water is very slow moving and the river is pretty narrow. That would be an incredible spot for you to dive if you do ever end up venturing this far north. I could only imagine what you could swim up on down there. Sturgeon up this way get north of 6-7ft long.
