Alligator SCARE!! Florida Everglades Never Fails to Amuse and Terrify 😳 

The girls were hilarious, glad you made it out alive lol

I don't see anything

The only ones playin was the people.....i guarantee you that alligator wasn't playin. He was sizing you up whether he could take you or not

Very cool eye opener lol.. what a rush!!!!!!

Was that staged?

Lol

Just because theyre lazy doesnt mean you wanna swim next to one

I've never been to Florida, but I've just always assumed that every body of water down there probably has a gator hidden in it.

@@Kjklump no but many will. And even if there isnt one, theres always the rumors.

Fact, I do that for any big amount of water in Florida 🤣

Ayo, do you guys wrestle with gators for real ?

@@foxmask8032 Don't be silly, they're not Australian.

Hahahhahaha hahahhahahahahahaha. Nice one bro!

I've caught a gar with a plastic hook actually :D it was about 3.5 to 4 foot long and it was breaking my lines all day. It was therapeutic to finally catch it lol. Didn't even know what was doing it but turns out it was a gar. It was right by the docks too.

The guy was baiting the gator, thats what the gator was after. It didnt stalk or even notice the humans. i lived in the area and baited many gators, they will not even notice humans about to step on them(1st hand exp)

Nah got to get them bass bro

I've never had a problem fishing around gators and I fish out on alagator ally during the spring and summer time . I have seen 12 to 15 footers out there but as long as you keep an eye out for them and don't harass then you will be ok . Was at a park in coral springs fishing and a gator was off to my left by the walking bridge about 15 feet from me when these kids syarted throwing rocks at it . I told them not to do it but they ignored me and came down by men then one hit it ij the head with a rock and it came running right past me chasing the kids who ran all over the place . It then turned around and walked right pass me then swam out into the lake . I told the kids next time you throw rocks at a gator they just might catch you . I can't stand stupid people who do stupid things like that

Born and raised in Florida, lived her for 31 years and our beaches lakes and springs are absolutely amazing. My dads first lesson he taught me was never be the first one to jump in.

The ocean is pretty safe along the beaches…

@@chippewaguy4193 visited Florida for a month. Springs were the best thing I've ever had the chance to swim in. Water feels heavy. It's awesome

Not many people know that bull sharks can actually survive in freshwater. Australia has them and attacks have even been reported in lake Michigan!

@@getkrawnwalled5625 yep we had a couple up in the Illinois river before

@@lt54 fact or cap?

I’m in Queensland Australia, there’s bullsharks everywhere, lakes, creeks golf course water traps

You’re not likely to see one, but it’s definitely possible

Who set up a tree swing in gator water? Sheesh lol

They must have been full from the last swimmers

They don’t really bother anyone in the day so I’m not surprised. I’ve swam with some in sight at the Everglades Holiday Park and they go on about themselves.

The chances of a 6ft alligator attacking you are slim to none. They would have to be on the verge of starvation.

Knowing Florida that rope swing is still there too.

Ol gatorland. I went there about 4 years ago. Sweet place 👍👍

@@johnperic6860 agreed. I’m much more likely to see a gator. A cottonmouth could be inches from me before I’ve noticed. Or I might step on it.

That's interesting, do people just don't swim in lakes/rivers in Florida?

I think the video is planned out . I only visit Florida every so often and i know there is a 99% chance of seeing a gator in that kind of setting .

I can look in my backyard and see way worse stuff than this When I was little I almost ran over a 6 foot gator on my bike in my backyard

@Attiram floridas just built different lol

Exactlyy 💯

Maybe the women in the video are from out of state visiting whoever the fisher is? Cause he certainly isn’t phased - he casts out another line from the exact same spot near the end of the video.

thats genuinely insane you easily couldve been grabbed by that same leg/foot you pushed off of it with and drug to the depths. Glad you were fortunate enough to only get a good story out of the ordeal!

Great description. I could picture the whole scene vividly in my mind. Thanks for your well written comment.

FL or not, situational awareness and critical thinking will keep you out of alot of trouble being an oblivious dumbass will get you in big trouble/6feet under. example... a woman almost died from a water moccasin (sp?) bite, because she decided to jump in a pond without paying attention... (to people or looking around), she got bit and was VERY lucky a fish and game fellow was able to get her help... her husband was screaming about killing the snake for trying to murder her on and on.. its a wild f-ing animal.. and she swam within 2 feet of the pads it was sunning on and hunting fish from.... (they are fun to watch and dont generally approach humans...generally...but she got close enough it saw a threat so.. yeah..), also seen a few times people nearly got mauled by bears by... not paying attention... mind you, these bears are... more like big dogs in how they act most of the time..but around huckleberry season is also when they tend to have cubs, if you want to pick berries, you need to pay attention and avoid bears, even some mother bears wont show aggression unless they think your a threat to them/the cubs, but some will charge at sight of a person too close, again thankfully enlarge, they dont attack people..and will move away if humans get loud and move alot, but theres always that one idiot you see who damn near get themselves killed at least once if not several times in a single season... genuine "whats wrong with your brain?/do you even brain? type stuff... one gal ran for over a mile after the bear stopped chasing(pretty fast, it sat down and just looked at her dust trail like 'hot damn, that one could move' and went back to eating berries... her husband went after her on foot... came back having passed more then one mile marker... and... i heard him lecture her about watching for and avoiding bears, the idiot woman pretended to listen/pay attention/understand and... clearly had not at all... or was just that dumb-stupid... could be either honestly... i saw that more then a few times in my youth..im sure its gotten worse... people seem to lack the skills needed to survive in the real workd these days even mroe then the 80-90's when i was a kid/youth... and some people i grew up with... couldnt make easymac without f-ing it up...

That would be the biggest gator ever. Possible but more likely 13 or 14 ft which is massive. If it was 18 ft it would most likely be a salt water croc.

That’s a pretty wild claim. The biggest gator on record was 19 feet so if it was around that size it’d have potential to be the largest alligator ever discovered.

It's a good rule of thumb. Have actually found a baby gator in a puddle after a heavy rain before. Sadly phone was dead (family dropped it) at the time so no pictures. Left it alone because momma gator was not far

Same rule goes for Australia, arguably moreso considering crocs are more aggressive

Would be an extremely unusual circumstamce for them to chase large prey outside of water. If you see a gator running it is to get into a body of water as fast as possible.

@@behemothfan1990 we used a well, so during the lighting storms if we turned on a shower and lightening struck close by the water could become electrocuted.

@ja hh That is not a myth. Look it up if you're unsure. Lightning can easily travel through pluming. Also lightning hitting bodies of water where the lightning discharges on the surface of the water and lightning striking a water pipe or nearby ground are concepts that don't relate.

Seems like an improper grounding issue. Rain and thunder and lightning storms happen everywhere and that should not happen if your house and everything is properly grounded. I live in central Illinois and we get plenty of bad storms and I have showered and run the dishwasher and other appliances many times and never a problem.
