Alligator Video Compilation - Surprising Encounters

Alligator video compilation of surprising encounters on the trails of Circle B Bar Reserve and around Lake Hollingsworth in Lakeland, Florida. Trail crossings, feasting on fish, death rolls, baby gators snuggling, yawning and even a female alligator defending her nest from an unfortunate softshell turtle in the wrong place at the wrong time. These prehistoric reptiles may do much of what they do in the shadows beyond our view, but every once in awhile you capture a moment or two that will awe and fascinate.

Your alligator videos are the only alligator videos I watch! Watching alligators is like watching a horror movie, you never know what gruesome thing is going to happen next. I'm kinda glad I don't live in alligator country........thank you for the great video, you're educating me about alligators! 🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊😊

I'm glad that my videos are helping you see alligators in a different light! :) Honestly, I just respect them from a distance and they do the same in return. They do look a lot larger when they're up on the trail than when they're in the water, but they move as quickly as they can to the other side. Thanks for watching and learning! 😁
