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.
@@matthewb3640The ones I’ve seen will only chase you as far as they believe they will meet with success. If you create some distance (a car and a half or two car lengths), they give up quick. They like the element of surprise. I’ve only watched the fat lazy ones.😂 They just sit and wait with their eyes above the water ever ready to pounce 🐊
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.
@@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
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. 😊
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.
My niece was living where their yards backed up to the canals. She’s from Texas and lived in the Houston area where there were crocs. But she didn’t expect them in Florida.😊 lol I had to laugh.

She called 911 and they got some one to come get it. Lol
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.

@@dacksonfluxthat was back in the good old days. It's hard times the interest being so high the mob had to drop thier rates so now folks can actually pay em back theyre less people being tossed in. the gators are starving. and pissed they got to get up and out to even eat some dry white cracker that still has the wrapper on.
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.
We have a house on a fishing lake in Florida. Let me tell you we see lots of Gators, mostly at night. You can see their eyes just above the water looking at you. Lots of young ones near our property. We have a huge bulkhead separateing the water from the land. We know that if they want on land they can climb over it. We are all fairly close to water throughout FL.
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.😒
It’s a small gator, but I would have ran too. I saw one at a golf course in Charleston, but I didn’t see it until I was about 10 feet away while looking for my ball near a pond. I learned to keep an eye out near water really quick.
I live in Florida and I've hiked hundreds of miles through gator rich areas. Gators are extremely predictable. People are feeding this gator. He assumed you had food for him. If the man tripped and fell it's very unlikely the gator would have harmed him. The man is too large and too far from the water (he doesn't want to drag that). If he wanted him he would have him. Alligators are fast, really fast. If your around their habit look up often, they can climb trees. If your on a trail with your dog you can't pull that leash quick enough. Dogs are gator snacks. Practically all water in Florida has gators in it. If you don't screw with them they completely ignore you. If you feed them they will come and eat your dogs and kids.
So true! ❤🥰❤ Must be an inexperienced Snowbird visting Fla not aware of the danger. Hope the gator didn't attack the man, the children we hear in the video wod be traumatized for life. Does anyone know what the outcome was?
Dear Tourists, please do not fish or walk along ponds in the southeast. Not only could you potentially encounter an alligator; there are also all kinds of poisonous snakes in those waters.
@@AlphaCrypto81 I’m guessing that since you’ve been fishing small ponds in the southeast your entire life that you’re probably more aware of the dangers than a first time visitor.
I heard that if you’re getting chased by an alligator that you should run in a zigzag pattern because the alligator cannot run like that they have to literally stop and turn and then run straight and stop and turn. So I guess it confuses them? Or they’re just physically not able to do it?
Was in Louisiana. 12 yr old kid kept feeding gaiters bologna. He was inches from the water. I saw 4 gaiters set of eyes poking up, and gliding closer to him. I told him, I can't save you if one grabs you. I'm from the North. I don't know what to do. They are feet from him, and 3 others behind the 1st one moving up. Luckily his dad yelled at him to stop it...we go inside his shop, and there's a pic of gaiter with man inside it. He swallowed him whole.
Was about to say you need to add Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana to that list.. I’m in Central Ga and even though TECHNICALLY I’m too far north, I still treat every body of water like there is a Gator.. years ago I was with my husband fishing on the Alabama river.. I was walking down a little way from where the others were standing and saw a huge gator slide and tracks. They were arguing with me that it wasn’t an Alligator until one of his cousins followed it up the bank to a huge female sitting on a nest.. soooo yeah, they are where we don’t think they are
Anything east of the i35 (Texas) is gator territory for me. I didn’t know gators were a thing until I saw a dead one on the shoulder in San Antonio Texas. ( I will never go tubing again)
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.
Can’t show fear, dude shoulda squared up and been ready to brawl.. lost his man card. On water yea get gone, but on land, you ain’t making me look like a btch.. unless it’s a full grown one lol
That’s nonsense 😂 Pure pure nonsense. Running zigzags is a ridiculous myth. An average person can outrun a gator in a straight line and you only have to run about 30ft before they’ll give up. They aren’t built for running period, zigzag or not.
I don't understand why the alligator ran after that person. If that's a normal occurrence why is she there in the first place and why is a child there? Is it me? Am I the insane one here?
@@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.
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.
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
@@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.
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.
Yup as a native Floridian, if there's water, there's probably gators, and that was definitely a mother alligator who probably had eggs or brand new babies. They don't come out of the water and chase you like that. They just don't, but if they do. You better run in zigzags because they can run. Oh, don't think they can't. They can run like crazy, especially a momma. It's like any other momma. Definitely a mother alligator and you got a little too close to her babies
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
People, it’s a female protecting her babies. He got too close. An alligator that wants a meal doesn’t waste all its energy chasing after a human on land. It would wait and strike in the water.
I was on vacation with my family in North Carolina, we were site seeing at a state park camping ground. There was a small lake, beside of a water inlet. I saw a pair of eyes, in the lake, in the distance, I stood there, could'nt believe what I was seeing, in that moment the eyes seemed to be swimming straight towards us! I alerted everyone, we have to get out of here, go to the car now! The alligator, spotted us, and started to swim, straight for us! We told the camp manager, a lot of campers in there, not too far from that gator! Be careful, especially if you don't know the area your visiting. ❤
@@deirdrekiely6187 My family has visited North Carolina, a lot in the past. We also saw quite a few gators, in the Cape Fear River there. Visiting a tourist attraction, the USS North Carolina battleship, the ship was surrounded with them in the water. I love North Carolina.

It's hard times the interest being so high the mob had to drop thier rates so now folks can actually pay em back theyre less people being tossed in. the gators are starving. and pissed they got to get up and out to even eat some dry white cracker that still has the wrapper on.
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.
Granny ran like she was in the Olympics.

We have a house on a fishing lake in Florida. Let me tell you we see lots of Gators, mostly at night. You can see their eyes just above the water looking at you. Lots of young ones near our property. We have a huge bulkhead separateing the water from the land. We know that if they want on land they can climb over it. We are all fairly close to water throughout FL.
Gator: I’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty.
🤣😂
😂😂😂😂
"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😮

@@kittykatz4001that’s crazy. A gator climbing a fence?

This is why you don’t feed them. Typical behavior of a gator being fed by people.

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!

Never turn your back on a predator animal and never run either. This is how you end up GAME OVER
That alligator said, "it's LUNCH TIME!"
As a Floridian, they taught us to run zig zag if we’re ever chased by a gator
I heard thats a myth and its better to just sprint straight and you'll outstamina it

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.😒
@@nikrixxx6338i looked it up and that's cap
No kidding. Kinda scary
It’s a small gator, but I would have ran too. I saw one at a golf course in Charleston, but I didn’t see it until I was about 10 feet away while looking for my ball near a pond. I learned to keep an eye out near water really quick.
Sadly, the poor man was eaten alive . . . .
I live in Florida and I've hiked hundreds of miles through gator rich areas. Gators are extremely predictable. People are feeding this gator. He assumed you had food for him. If the man tripped and fell it's very unlikely the gator would have harmed him. The man is too large and too far from the water (he doesn't want to drag that). If he wanted him he would have him. Alligators are fast, really fast. If your around their habit look up often, they can climb trees. If your on a trail with your dog you can't pull that leash quick enough. Dogs are gator snacks. Practically all water in Florida has gators in it. If you don't screw with them they completely ignore you. If you feed them they will come and eat your dogs and kids.
Likely thought he had a fish to take. Way to small to go after the guy
😲
Climb trees😮
Gator facts for city folls😂
Sounds like some ungrateful little buggers literally biting the hands that feed it😅
He found 2nd gear real quick, didn't he? 😂
Lmao
Hope neither of them fell, out of the frame. Why could they keep filming?

Dear Tourists, please do not fish or walk along ponds in the southeast. Not only could you potentially encounter an alligator; there are also all kinds of poisonous snakes in those waters.
Snakes? Bugger, don't want to see those. Thanks for the warning.
I had absolutely NO IDEA!
THANK YOU SOO MUCH!
@@taree2765 you didn't have no idea they have snakes in america
How about just be careful and enjoy your day we've been fishing in the southeast for my entire life I've never been bitten
@@AlphaCrypto81 I’m guessing that since you’ve been fishing small ponds in the southeast your entire life that you’re probably more aware of the dangers than a first time visitor.
I heard that if you’re getting chased by an alligator that you should run in a zigzag pattern because the alligator cannot run like that they have to literally stop and turn and then run straight and stop and turn. So I guess it confuses them? Or they’re just physically not able to do it?
Was in Louisiana. 12 yr old kid kept feeding gaiters bologna. He was inches from the water. I saw 4 gaiters set of eyes poking up, and gliding closer to him. I told him, I can't save you if one grabs you. I'm from the North. I don't know what to do. They are feet from him, and 3 others behind the 1st one moving up. Luckily his dad yelled at him to stop it...we go inside his shop, and there's a pic of gaiter with man inside it. He swallowed him whole.
Alligator is like ‘bitch, you think I won’t?’
And that's a small one lol.
Fr
Lol.... try me
I'm crying laughing
🤣
Do not go anywhere near ponds, lakes or canals especially with kids or dogs.
Or elders
in Florida
To be fair, if he was fishing, he was carrying food (the fish).
@@steveaustin2686the… he has no fish
@@TheMinnesnowtan He's trying though and likely has bait.
Gator defends its territory as US citizens have learned it but without rifle
I keep reading about gators in the water and to stay away. Well, what the hell do you do when you want to fish? Lol
Duh! You fish. If an alligator bothers you, piss on it.
When I'm anywhere in SC, GA or FL and near water, I automatically assume there's gators and act accordingly
Was about to say you need to add Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana to that list.. I’m in Central Ga and even though TECHNICALLY I’m too far north, I still treat every body of water like there is a Gator.. years ago I was with my husband fishing on the Alabama river.. I was walking down a little way from where the others were standing and saw a huge gator slide and tracks. They were arguing with me that it wasn’t an Alligator until one of his cousins followed it up the bank to a huge female sitting on a nest.. soooo yeah, they are where we don’t think they are
You justified never traveling to those States!!😮😮😮
Good rule of thumb.
NC as well
Anything east of the i35 (Texas) is gator territory for me. I didn’t know gators were a thing until I saw a dead one on the shoulder in San Antonio Texas. ( I will never go tubing again)
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
😅😅😅
👍😊👍
"SIR, COME BACK. I WANTED TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT YOUR CARS EXTENDED WARRANTY"
As a Floridian, if you see greenish water run if you see a canal run, if you see crystal Clearwater run If there is water, there is gators
Never turn your back to an ambush predator.
Dude, an ambush predator also ambushes animals who are facing them.
Yup
@@ayasha89games66 true, yet u aren't going to out run a true ambush, u can turn into it or die.
Can’t show fear, dude shoulda squared up and been ready to brawl.. lost his man card. On water yea get gone, but on land, you ain’t making me look like a btch.. unless it’s a full grown one lol

Lol- so tough on a keyboard.. 😅😂😂
NEVER run in a straight line. Zig Zag because they can’t. Born and raised in Florida❣️
That’s nonsense 😂
Pure pure nonsense.
Running zigzags is a ridiculous myth. An average person can outrun a gator in a straight line and you only have to run about 30ft before they’ll give up. They aren’t built for running period, zigzag or not.
🤔 hmm
Zig zag in maybe 10 to 15 ft increments. If you zigzag barely he's just going to keep going straight at ya
Don’t trip
@@turtleinashirtThe average person in florida is too old or too fat to outrun the slowest gator
I don't understand why the alligator ran after that person. If that's a normal occurrence why is she there in the first place and why is a child there? Is it me? Am I the insane one here?
In Florida don't go near the water. Do t let your dog go near the water
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
He just wanted to talk to him about his car's extended warranty
😂😂😂
Thats what I was about to say. Lol
Jokes on the gator, that dude don’t own a car!
I was going to say that
Gator wanted to sell him some top quality muffler baring's.
👍 An excellent and amazing video of visiting Hilton. Thank you very much.
Alligators can run up to 35 mph. The fastest human just under 8 mph. Don't get cocky!
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.
@@DoubleDogDare54 yep 👍
@@DoubleDogDare54the most American thing I’ve heard no doubt. Merica! Fuk yeah!
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.
Yeah, food instincts are gonna have them going to for easier prey, definitely chasing him away rather than trying to eat him
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.
Most people watching this doing realize that this behavior is otherwise very rare and alligators usually shy away from humans
Or some asz hat feeding them fish. Your probably right though
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
The alligator feels disturbed, that's why he was chased 😒
Bro was like "i gotta tell you about your cars extended warranty"

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.
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.
Yup as a native Floridian, if there's water, there's probably gators, and that was definitely a mother alligator who probably had eggs or brand new babies. They don't come out of the water and chase you like that. They just don't, but if they do. You better run in zigzags because they can run. Oh, don't think they can't. They can run like crazy, especially a momma. It's like any other momma. Definitely a mother alligator and you got a little too close to her babies
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?
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.
I bet that gator has a reddit account.
Why did the video cut off?
What happened? Did the fisherman get killed? Did nobody get hurt?
The gator just wanted to let the guy know he could save 15% on his car insurance

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!
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.
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👍💯
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.”

People, it’s a female protecting her babies. He got too close. An alligator that wants a meal doesn’t waste all its energy chasing after a human on land. It would wait and strike in the water.
I was on vacation with my family in North Carolina, we were site seeing at a state park camping ground. There was a small lake, beside of a water inlet. I saw a pair of eyes, in the lake, in the distance, I stood there, could'nt believe what I was seeing, in that moment the eyes seemed to be swimming straight towards us! I alerted everyone, we have to get out of here, go to the car now! The alligator, spotted us, and started to swim, straight for us! We told the camp manager, a lot of campers in there, not too far from that gator! Be careful, especially if you don't know the area your visiting. ❤
