As a Floridian, I never turn my back on water. I don’t care if it’s toe nail deep. Alligators creep up so slow they sometimes don’t even disturb the water. They can climb fences, they can climb trees. Yes, I said TREES. They get that chase speed on …they run up the tree so far then fall to the ground. They’re fearless. As a country girl I’ve seen my share of those things. They hiss like a flat tire and run fast with their mouth open.

Here in coastal South Carolina you treat all water like there is a gator in it. Walking along the water, especially with a dog, is ringing the dinner bell.
That goes for 90% of predators. They weigh their options, and this is survival for them, and if the thing they wanna go after is bigger, most of the time, they dont want to risk getting injured in a fight. They want to sneak attack from behind. So thats good advice. Farmers innrural india would and still do wear masks of human faces on the backs of their heads so tigers think their looking in their direction when theyrs actually facing the other way working. And it does work!
@@CLSGL yes the average person can run 10-15 mph not 5-8. You don’t know what the hell your talking about, unless the person is 78 years old then they aren’t only running 8mph
I’m like 90% certain the Gator thought he has a fish on his line. It’s pretty common for gators to run out of the water like that to try and grab the fish before the fisherman reels it in all the way. Only other reason a gator would charge a human on land like that is to defend a nest.
@@MVictoriaMia same. They normally scared of us because of our size. Now, if it had been a crocodile, they see humans as easy to catch food that doesn't fight back hard enough to hurt them.
When people feed them they act like this. Someone’s feeding this gator. They’ll even eat slices of bread. Trust me this gator has been removed and disposed of after this
@ThatOneguy-br3uf we had an 8 footer in a concrete settling pond at Formosa, Point Comfort Tx, and it would run up the sides when it heard a vehicle door close because the operators were feeding it. EH&S finally found out about it, and had a game warden come get it before someone got bit.
That literally just happened and it was heart breaking. Lady had her dog by the edge of the pond. A huge gator went after the dog and she yanked the leash to save him and she fell. Gator took her instead. All caught on video 😢😢
@@nikrixxx6338that's so sad. I've heard or seen many horror stories where gators have eating people including little toddlers.😢Why are they still around🙄 I'm sick of them, snakes and spiders too.😒
I've seen them chase and they are fast. Was staying at a campsite in southern florida. Asked the man at admission gate if it was safe for tents overnight. He said it was even though there were canals. Thank God we had 2 tents, one for sleeping and one for cooler and camping gear. (There was no open food). In the middle of the night we heard a thrashing noice and a gator was attacking the tent with the cooler and camping gear. Crap it could have been our tent. The next morning we went down to the canal about 100 ft away from our site. All of a sudden a gator started chasing us. I got on top a picnic table. The gator chased after my friend up a palm tree. Thank goodness my friend got to just under the ponds of the palm tree. The gator got pretty close but feel off. Note that this camping ground was just for tents, no RV's. Needless to say we never went back there. Scared the hell out of both of us.
We were in Myrtle Beach one summer and everyone was telling this couple to not walk along the edge, they found out really quick when an alligator came out of the water.
An 80 yr old woman was killed in florida. When aligator came out knocked her down, dragged her back in water poor woman had no fighting chance she was just walking her lil poodle. Gator chose her for dinner. Very sad,
There are ponds everywhere along the roads that are full of gators. I went to Daufuski Island in SC,and it was the same. Out of ignorance I stood at the edge of the water just like in the video looking at the baby gators. A local told me that a big gator can lurk below the surface right where I was standing and grab me. That was the end of my daily walk to the edge of the water.

I live in an apartment complex in Central Florida. My neighbors wanted to know how alligators kept getting into our lakes. They were appalled when I told them they can climb fences. I'm in the middle of a busy tourist area ... Alligators, Coyotes, Wild hogs ... They closed down the Magic Kingdom because a bear wandered in ...

Not sure about that, most seem to have little fear of them. Only once did I hear of a man who when he fished he had a six foot rule, and always carried a gun just in case that rule was broken.
@@franko8572just don't go swimming in canals or ponds or lakes 😂, I've been here thirty-five years and I have never had a problem with an alligator, they only become nuisance when people feed them
Alligators don't run. They crawl. The next correct word is owed, past tense. It's not owe, present tense. Return to school and give back the diploma you didn't earn but we're given to get you out. 😊
Growing up in southeast Louisiana, from experience that's the behavior of a female alligator who has a clutch of eggs near the area the man is fishing in.
I was about to say that when I saw your post. A female gator with a clutch of eggs will charge after anything she thinks is a threat, even if isn't. Crocs will, too, but they're not quite as aggressive.
Yeah were not their normal prey, theyre not as aggressive as crocs, theyd rather slink away. If youre in the water and bump into one though, they might bite just cause@@webchamp930
I worked for the largest privately owned hatchery in the southeastern United States for 7 years. I was contracted out for their lake/pond management (aquaculture). And all I can tell you is that a good rule of thumb is that any gator over 6ft is a serious threat. I’ve been in plenty of ponds in Florida in my waders and always kept eyes in the back of my head. The little guys are more scared of you then you are them. But once they get to a certain size, they can possibly see you as a big meal.

@@jchis9852in a straight line for about 15 yards so zig zag, look for obstacles to jump and don't stop to look back is what we were instructed when we moved to HHI and assume they are in all the waters you see, including pools! so do not get too close.
All I can think is ..." AS SOON AS YOU SAW THE TWO BEADY EYES POKING OUT OF THE WATER YOU SHOULD VACATE THE AREA IMMEDIATELY! " What exactly were you WAITING FOR? This needed to be titled "DUMB WAYS TO DIE"! Respect the animal for what it is and STAY AWAY. Wow, this is heartbreaking.
I have lived near lakes with alligators in them . The gentleman didn't have a small animal or enough on his hook to attract the alligator that far up to shore. Most likely scenario is the alligator is a female and there is a nest nearby and the guy was close to it. She was just warning him away. Scary scenario though cause this is the first time I scene something like this in a regular public park/ lake.
Zigzag doesn't work. Also gators can jump up out of water to grab birds in lower branches. And they can climb over chain link fence and climb some trees. Also Don't jump into swimming pools without checking 1st. Breeding season gators get moving around. Plus they territorial of thier areas.
Now that's funny, I don't care what anyone thinks. Look down here in South Louisiana, gators like this will end up on the dinner table. It's like they are just begging to be eaten. It comes straight to you with no remorse..... Lol. It's like the rabbit going straight up to a fox. It doesn't end well for the rabbit nor the gator.
Omg just ask her "are you requesting for me to work during my unpaid lunch hour". If she says yes then say "could you please send that to me via email for receipt, thanks". Simple
To deal with his shyness, Gatie the Alligator, was told to get out there and meet the neighbors. Later, he was overheard saying, “See? This is why I just eat people instead.”
@@EmJay57 it’s not about what they know, it’s about what you know. Most predators are quicker, faster and twice as vicious as any human can be. If they perceive you as a threat, i.e. not backing down from a direct challenge or physical threat they interpret it as you are a threat to them. When you turn in run you are nothing more than prey or a pest, and they will kill, maim or seriously injure indiscriminately.
Maybe a little nip from the young gator…doubt the guy’s leg would have been ‘snapped off’. Besides, I believe the guy would have out-run the baby gator. 🙄
@@shejean you really don't know gators do you? That's no baby. A baby gator is no longer than your forearm. That gator is no baby. If it got a hold of that man's leg it would mangle and either brake the bone in it or rip it out of the joint socket. A death roll will do that. Man would probably lose the leg after it's mangled. Gators are very strong, specially compared to a human.
My daughter and I went for a walk and one was waiting at the stop sign. I spotted it before we got too close. It climbed the fence from the ponds. We also have a couple gators that like to block the gates to get onto the military installations. Good ole fort Stewart.
Years ago myself and a friend were in sanibel Island walking on a dirt road and a gator started chasing us. They are extremely fast and protective. A pickup came down the road and we hopped in the back. Thanks to our guardian angels ❤
Remember everyone: if ever being chased/chargedby gators or croc's to ZIG ZAG while running away. Never run in a straight line. Hopefully, this video ended with the gator stopping and not the much harsher latter possibility that YT is showing it.... A she gator is fierce when she has a clutch of eggs around, which is what this charge looks like to me.
@@kes1667 That running crooked advice never made sense to me. If you zig-zag, your average direction is a straight line. You will cover the same distance in a shorter period of time by running straight.
The alligator reported later on channel 5 news that the man had hooked him instead of the fish. So all charges was dropped against the gator and he was able to return back to the water safely.
And don’t run straight (or so Ive heard) run in zig-zag apparently. Also I’m from the north and have ZERO gator experience/interaction (not looking for any either) so take my advice with a grain of salt 😩. Any fellow Southerner on here please check me if I’m wrong AND please give us some potential life saving advice.
I searched it up & I found the full video on Google. It wasn't interesting. Basically, the gator stopped when this⬆️ YT short stopped, and the gator chilled on the grass for a bit; that's when more people got NEAR the gator to watch & take video of it but literally got so close to it they were asking to get eaten 😒 Even the gator got tired of the paparazzi and turned back around into the water. The end.
@@dumballover123Maybe he did. The fisherman and old lady both obviously knew it was there. Hence why the guy fishing is walking away and the old lady is filming it too. They just didn't expect it to leave the water and charge at em like that lol. 🤷♂️
My daughter was chased by an alligator at the Okefenokee swamp when she was like 4. We weren’t right by the water; it ran out of a culvert. She was riding her bike not far in front of my husband & I (alligators are faster than you think)! I didn’t know I could run so fast; I could’ve outrun Husain Bolt trying to get to her!! When I screamed she jumped off her bike and threw it down. I scooped her up and the alligator (Roger is what she named it) was still running toward her. He grabbed ahold of her bike and started pulling it!!! 🐊 🏃♀️ 😭 ***I actually got a picture of the gator pulling her bike once we were a safe distance away.
😆 🤣 😂 😹 oh yeah!!! We Florida folks all have pet gators. We call them all Fido. They won't bite. Plus , if you believe me, I have some beautiful swamp land you might want to buy.

He knew it was there. They were antagonizing the alligator. I was hoping someone would win a Darwin Award.
He died.
Note to self: Never live in a state where alligators are endemic.
"Were alligators are as common as rats"
... and/or dirtbag Republican governors.
then don't be near any water, gators like sharks will swim in canals and end up in places least expected.
"Note to self," hilarious!
pretty much the south eastern portion of the United States
Habibi come to Thailand😂😂😂
What's was he charged with?
Never underestimate the speed and agility of gators or crocs!!
Have you seen how fast a lizard moves? Well. Alligator Al is a big version of that.
There good in water not a threat on land u can out run them
It was running his ass down
@davetherave333 like what, a couple feet?😂😂😂gators and crocs are such a low threat outside of the water it's ridiculous
@@tranquilanimaljamlover66well u b the test dummy 2 prove it wrong. Ijs
They can run up 2 20 mph on land. So yeah tripping nd falling is a GR8 risk factor. Not 2 IMAGINE throwing babies, pets, elders, handicapped n2 a scenario.
So PLEASE keep those factors n mind.
*Beware of DANGEROUS animals, PERIODT* 💋
I never seen a gator run so fast or a fisherman
This happens all the time in the south
Gators can outrun a man.
@@jchis9852in a straight line for about 15 yards so zig zag, look for obstacles to jump and don't stop to look back is what we were instructed when we moved to HHI and assume they are in all the waters you see, including pools! so do not get too close.
Gatorss are not to be trifled with.
They've been here longer than we have!
But big zig zags, you don't ever want to cut towards them at ALL
All I can think is ..." AS SOON AS YOU SAW THE TWO BEADY EYES POKING OUT OF THE WATER YOU SHOULD VACATE THE AREA IMMEDIATELY! " What exactly were you WAITING FOR? This needed to be titled "DUMB WAYS TO DIE"! Respect the animal for what it is and STAY AWAY. Wow, this is heartbreaking.
Wtf is he fishing for? State of that water. Fishing next to a discharge pipe
If you're in Florida don't go near water , even that glass of water you left 5 min ago on the counter might have alligators in there by now
😂😂😂😂😂 hilarious 😂😆😂😆😂😆😆😂😆
Piranators.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I live in Tampa and i have nothing to do close to a lake.
It’s in sc
People don't realize just how fast they can move.
Sprint
Well…. They did. That’s why they moved even faster 🤓
Yep...and they can move quite a bit faster than that one did.
Not as fast a 9mm
That was surprising slow
That’s just a little guy
He was actually just asking for a fishing license
😂
I have lived near lakes with alligators in them . The gentleman didn't have a small animal or enough on his hook to attract the alligator that far up to shore. Most likely scenario is the alligator is a female and there is a nest nearby and the guy was close to it. She was just warning him away. Scary scenario though cause this is the first time I scene something like this in a regular public park/ lake.
This should be TOO COMMENT👍💯
One thing I've learned from living in Michigan. There's alligators in places. Don't go to other places.
one thing ive learned from also living in michigan: Dont go to Florida!
😂 profound tbh
@@Peter-nm1psLOL For real Ipsilanti!!😂😂😂😂
Yeah stay indoors and don't rob dinners 🤣😬
Mackinaw city my man! Where the sunset on lake Michigan is beautiful and mosquitoes will carry you away😎👍
If it runs, it is prey
This is why i dont go paddleboarding in Florida
Granny ran like she was in the Olympics.
Gold medal performance
She just HAD to get a picture instead of getting the hell away!!😮😮
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I would be running like granny too! 😂
I was going to say how fast granny dipped out but you beat me to it 😂
My uncle said youre supposed to zig zag, like I'm gonna remember that when I'm being chased by a dinosaur 😂
I know!!! That's crazy!!
I wonder if it actually made that noise..
😭😭😭
Zigzag doesn't work. Also gators can jump up out of water to grab birds in lower branches. And they can climb over chain link fence and climb some trees.
Also Don't jump into swimming pools without checking 1st. Breeding season gators get moving around. Plus they territorial of thier areas.
😅
That thing is barely bigger than an iguana 😂
don't you all walk around with guns anyway down there? lol
He said surprise shawty
Never turn your back on an alligator, they are some sneaky S.O.B.s
A bit like politicians and journalists 😂
@@clairefarnell9489😂🤣😂🤣
Fact fact fact
And fast
That's Right! They are Predators We are Prey!
Alligator thinking “I hate fast food” 😂😂
Funny
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂THIS😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Now that's funny, I don't care what anyone thinks.
Look down here in South Louisiana, gators like this will end up on the dinner table. It's like they are just begging to be eaten. It comes straight to you with no remorse..... Lol. It's like the rabbit going straight up to a fox. It doesn't end well for the rabbit nor the gator.
It pays to have a bowie knife 😅
Omg just ask her "are you requesting for me to work during my unpaid lunch hour". If she says yes then say "could you please send that to me via email for receipt, thanks". Simple
To deal with his shyness, Gatie the Alligator, was told to get out there and meet the neighbors. Later, he was overheard saying, “See? This is why I just eat people instead.”
And also spot 🐶

To be fair, if he was fishing, he was carrying food (the fish).

Never turn your back to an animal when you’re in its habitat.
What they know your front from your back?
@@EmJay57 bad advice run backwards fall over and die?
The animal was at a full on charge at that point. It’s a gator, you can probably tuck it and run.
@@DontAtMe2k24 I think S/he means that he turned his back on the gator when he walked away. It's better to back away from the Apex Predator.
@@EmJay57 it’s not about what they know, it’s about what you know. Most predators are quicker, faster and twice as vicious as any human can be. If they perceive you as a threat, i.e. not backing down from a direct challenge or physical threat they interpret it as you are a threat to them. When you turn in run you are nothing more than prey or a pest, and they will kill, maim or seriously injure indiscriminately.
The alligator investigated the incident and found no wrong doing
💀
The Alligator PD has no jurisdiction on dry land! He should be fired and thrown in jail!
@@skillethead15 😅😅😂😂
😆
You could say he was an investi-GATOR…..
All women know how to do is scream
Sometimes they do give warning, sounds like a busted lawn mower on its last limb.
If “Get the hell outta my house” was a video! 😂😂😂
😂
😆 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I love how he thought by nonchalantly walking away and avoiding eye contact would deter the gator from wanting to snap his leg off
😂😂😂😂 that doesn't work with reptiles......
A lot of predators would rather you not make eye contact with them when they are checking you out as prey. They don't want you to see them coming.
Maybe a little nip from the young gator…doubt the guy’s leg would have been ‘snapped off’. Besides, I believe the guy would have out-run the baby gator. 🙄
@@shejean you really don't know gators do you? That's no baby. A baby gator is no longer than your forearm. That gator is no baby. If it got a hold of that man's leg it would mangle and either brake the bone in it or rip it out of the joint socket. A death roll will do that. Man would probably lose the leg after it's mangled. Gators are very strong, specially compared to a human.
Lmao
My daughter and I went for a walk and one was waiting at the stop sign. I spotted it before we got too close. It climbed the fence from the ponds. We also have a couple gators that like to block the gates to get onto the military installations. Good ole fort Stewart.
Years ago myself and a friend were in sanibel Island walking on a dirt road and a gator started chasing us. They are extremely fast and protective. A pickup came down the road and we hopped in the back. Thanks to our guardian angels ❤
Remember everyone: if ever being chased/chargedby gators or croc's to ZIG ZAG while running away. Never run in a straight line. Hopefully, this video ended with the gator stopping and not the much harsher latter possibility that YT is showing it.... A she gator is fierce when she has a clutch of eggs around, which is what this charge looks like to me.
@@kes1667this is literally a myth…
@@kes1667 👁 FLOATERS
THANKS FOR THE ADVICE.
That was probably a croc gators are only in the us
@@kes1667 That running crooked advice never made sense to me. If you zig-zag, your average direction is a straight line. You will cover the same distance in a shorter period of time by running straight.
The alligator reported later on channel 5 news that the man had hooked him instead of the fish. So all charges was dropped against the gator and he was able to return back to the water safely.
🤣🤣
💀
😂 it took me a minute
😅😅😅
👍😊👍
and this is why I practice in the range
Goes fishing. Almost becomes the catch of the day.
I wasn't expecting the gator to run that effin fast😭
they can run up to 35 mph on land. people think they are slow but they aren't.
@@floralbouquets
Wow, I learn sometimes new everyday.
@@floralbouquetsheythanks for the update i couldn't remember exactly how fast it was but i know it's faster than me xD
And don’t run straight (or so Ive heard) run in zig-zag apparently. Also I’m from the north and have ZERO gator experience/interaction (not looking for any either) so take my advice with a grain of salt 😩. Any fellow Southerner on here please check me if I’m wrong AND please give us some potential life saving advice.
That was my question?! Are they fast?
Are they just gonna leave us on a cliffhanger like that?!?!
It was an EPIC battle, but the alligator prevailed in the end.
What do you expect from a two bit organization like abc news
I searched it up & I found the full video on Google. It wasn't interesting.
Basically, the gator stopped when this⬆️ YT short stopped, and the gator chilled on the grass for a bit; that's when more people got NEAR the gator to watch & take video of it but literally got so close to it they were asking to get eaten 😒 Even the gator got tired of the paparazzi and turned back around into the water.
The end.
Thank you @@joylove1248
@@adamslater7486 Oh, thank god!
Why didn't they show the entire clip? Did the man get injured? I truly hope not 🙏
The only river in south africa that don't have crocodiles is the orange river.

"I got an offer you can't refuse!"😂😂😂
When in the South never pull over near water, let alone pull over to pee. Nature awaits😮
😂
Never underestimate alligators 😮
Truth
@@dumballover123Maybe he did. The fisherman and old lady both obviously knew it was there. Hence why the guy fishing is walking away and the old lady is filming it too. They just didn't expect it to leave the water and charge at em like that lol. 🤷♂️
😂
My daughter was chased by an alligator at the Okefenokee swamp when she was like 4. We weren’t right by the water; it ran out of a culvert. She was riding her bike not far in front of my husband & I (alligators are faster than you think)! I didn’t know I could run so fast; I could’ve outrun Husain Bolt trying to get to her!! When I screamed she jumped off her bike and threw it down. I scooped her up and the alligator (Roger is what she named it) was still running toward her. He grabbed ahold of her bike and started pulling it!!!
🐊 🏃♀️ 😭
***I actually got a picture of the gator pulling her bike once we were a safe distance away.
"He clearly was friendly and wanted to play! His tail was wagging!!"
😆 🤣 😂 😹 oh yeah!!! We Florida folks all have pet gators. We call them all Fido. They won't bite. Plus , if you believe me, I have some beautiful swamp land you might want to buy.
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Gators are reptiles and also loose their tails when frightened.
You will however never see it because they are afraid of nothing.
I was thinking the same thing, and it's smiling
The alligator was like: no, no fishing here, those are mine!
😂
Somewhere Elton John is singing “The Circle of Life”.
it should be a jailable offense to scream during dangerous, about to be eaten situations
Never underestimate the power of wild animals to protect themselves from a perceived threat or an easy meal.
Meh
No, that was dumbasses feeding them. That gator associates humans with food.
Never underestimate the power of a handgun to take out an aggressive varmint who thinks he owns the place and you are an easy meal. BANG!!! Problem solved.
