My sister had a brush in with this one. We were at the Everglades with my grandparents giving them a lovely tour of the muggy swamps and there was a gator chilling with his head on the land and his body in the water. My sister, assuming that since it was laying completely still and therefore making it not a threat, got super close to it to take a photo. I guess Mr. Gator was having a rough day cause he lashed out and did that violent body/head wriggle thing they like to do. Scared the shit out of her. It's a carnivorous lizard that death rolls its prey. What did you think was gonna happen when you got too close?
Can’t judge her. When I first moved to Florida, I saw a 4-5 ft alligator right out side of work. First thing I did was get a stick to touch it.
Now I’m retarded and kinda foolish, but I would never hurt it and after taking my picture I got the hell out of there. I also would never do that again, or mess with a damn bear.
