As an individual from the suburbs this is terrifying to me, although I can see how it just becomes background noise to people who see wild animals all the time. Yet it's still crazy to me that these people would knowingly swing into the water with a gator like they do this everyday for fun. Can someone confirm that this isn't as dangerous as it looks to an outsider/non Floridian? @Zookeeper Gabe

Also makes me wonder what type of wild animals do you guys see around your area? I get wide eyed when I see a wild raccoon, rat, or even a cow. The most dangerous thing I'll see sometimes are coyotes. I have no idea if they're aggressive towards humans, but i'm never really scared of them. I'll still look over my shoulder though

Gators aren’t really aggressive. I wouldn’t fuck with em, but they ain’t gonna stalk you.

Worst here I’ve ever come across here is copperheads and rattlesnakes. Rattlesnakes ain’t too bad as you usually hear em before you see em so you know to be on guard. I chopped a copperhead’s head off with a machete after I’d stepped over it. I opened its mouth with the blade afterwards and thing had like 1” long fangs on it. Was pretty freaky, and I was lucky it didn’t strike me.

There’s also black widow spiders but I ain’t ever been bothered by those.

Interesting. I guess I don't really differentiate between them and crocs. I saw a video once of some guy trying to save some ensnared animal splashing on the water bank, and from the distance you see a crocodile or alligator swim at what seemed like a blinding speed towards the trapped animal and snatch it up. I know they're killing machines, but I had no idea they moved that fast and effortlessly. It didn't help my fear of crocs and sharks.

Also my friends have seen snakes. Apparently they're pretty common when hiking around here, but I've never seen one myself.

Show me a some what cute athletic girl..

I'll show you a gator that's tired of eating that shit...

Same. Gators avoid people and dont see them as food. If you stepped on one you might be in trouble but they are not going to hunt you.

Vacationing in Louisiana out on a hike in the bayou a local told me they were quite dangerous and would sneak up behind you and bite you if you are not being aware. I spent that whole hike being super cautious. He was just fucking with me.....
 
One of the most obnoxious videos Ive ever had to watch, the fucking stop start to add mario sound effects, zooms and red arrows pointing to shit we could already see gave me an aneurysm. Fuck you TS.
 
Forget that. I wouldn't be able to enjoy it, i'd be looking over my shoulder the whole time. I'm more impressed that she managed to hold on to the rope swing. I've seen a bunch of Instagram fails where women take the nastiest spills trying to ride a rope swing.

I saw the un-edited clip on FB. That was the only one I could find on Youtube. Please forgive me.
 
I live in the Charleston, SC area and people do this shit all the time. Just gotta watch out when they get over 8 ft. Otherwise, the Gators are pretty docile. Personally, I wouldn't test any Gators but the rednecks just don't give a damn. Ain't nobody fucking with the saltwater Crocs though; they're hyper aggressive and get huge. Luckily, they don't come this far north very often.

I'll straight up knock a croc out.

Fill that water with uppercuts.
 
is it wrong that i'm kind of disappointed nothing happened?

Fuck all that. I don't even like stepping foot in the ocean and not knowing what's under me. Let alone jump into a murky lake with an alligator.
 
You have to hand it to Florida Crackers

And once I went to Brazos Bend State Park outside of houston. It is basically a Gator swamp. There are gators everywhere and are allowed to roam free. The walking paths/trails are only like 10-12 feet wide, and flanked on either side by ponds with gators in them. As you walk, you will pass by gators very close. Some will even be basking up on the paths/trails, and you have to walk by them. You will be very close.





Next time I in town, I buy some tennis balls, and start pegging them gators. I dont care.

A guy I know from Florida says he used to hang around rivers and swamps where there are gators with his friends when he was a kid. In retrospect he says it's crazy. But I guess gators aren't that aggressive. It seems Crocodiles are a different story though.

that local is cool. He had you tenderfoot shitting your pants over nothing.<{anton}>
 
I remember back in day care we used to have to lay down and take a nap and they'd always play this tune over the speakers.

All-i-gators.....croc-o-diles....do you know the difference..between the two?

Great tune.
 
I learned to water ski on the bayous and you could usually see alligators lined up on the bank. I didn’t waste time getting back in the boat though.
