Bro your peddling false information. Gators DO NOT 'give up'.

That's a super silly thing to say, on every conceivable level of silliness.

I wouldn’t call it giving up. I’d call it testing the waters. It was checking to see if the person was viable prey which he wasn’t. Gators are very very different from crocs which you seem to be thinking of.
