They own the land....

:roflblack::roflblack: they roam all over. Not uncommon to have them take a dip in your pool :yikes: animal control has it's work cut out for them down there......

 

[cuznjohn]

hard to believe how big that thing is

 

[Bob Denman]

:agree: That's a whole lot of boots, belts, and steaks! :2thumbs:


...And Jerky!

 

[Cruzr Joe]

That's a large Gator.

We could get more than a couple of servings of jerky out of him; right?

Um, how fast can gators run? Looks like that guy could have been "in the danger zone"..:shocked:

 

[lizmcg]

About 20 mph, from what I've seen on TV. At any rate, they can outrun a human, but only for short distances. Or so they say. . . . "Depends what the meaning of 'short' is.":yikes:

 

[Bob Denman]

He definitely "too close for comfort"... :shocked:

Unless that smart phone, was smart enough to also pack a .338 Win. Mag, in one of it's apps.

Not big enough for me. Make my app a .450... nojoke

There was a gator?

 

[retired1]

I just saw coverage on the weather channel about this 'gator. They stated that he was 15 ft. long. Their hide is so tough that it will deflect a 17 cal. bullet, i8f you miss the "kill spot".

After thinking about this a bit more; the nit-wit out in front in the video, probably wasn't in TO much peril...
...But he was definitely too close for comfort! :shocked:

Gators usually focus directly in front of them, when planning an attack...
They are masters of "The Quick Lunge". They can cover a very short distance, in the blink of an eye! nojoke
That's why they usually grab critters by the head, while they're getting a drink of water. :yikes:

But if you got his attention, and he turned towards you: do you think that you could start backing up, and get turned around, AND find "top gear" in time? :dontknow:

Great video but this reminds me of the ignorant tourists in Yellowstone getting to close to the Bison (Buffalo). "you mess with the Bull you eventually get Gored" :yikes:
