This happened in my county.............
Gator ping!
It was the high note of her summer.
I would have lost it. I don't see myself staying calm under these circumstances.
Nonsense! She and her mother are the first responders.
The "first responder" to an emergency involving you is YOU. Plan accordingly.
Looking for the AlligatorGirl transformation akin to Spiderman
No waterways in Florida are safe from gators. Behave accordingly.
If you’re ever in this situation, your best chance its to poke the gator in the eyes, or punch it in the snout.
Poor girl. When we first moved here in the 70s, we saw a gator under our sewer grate, which lead to a canal. My Dad called it in and an Ocean World guy came and took it out. We measured it on our front lawn. It was 5’9”. What an experience.
If one reads the journal of Cabeza De Vaca, one notes that during his journey from Florida to the Pacific Coast of Mexico between 1527-36, he did not see a single alligator. Indians ate them.
I hate these jurassic throw backs that serve no purpose in this world. Lost a classmate in third grade to one of these vile things, and have had friends lose pets (cats and small dogs).
Hate, hate, HATE them.
Ouch.
This needs to be posted all over AlagatorAlcatraz.
“See, if you try and escape you CAN live thru it, just punch the gator in the nose.”
“Mind, if WE (the guards) catch up to you we will simply shoot you and let the other gators have a snack.”
What was she doing there? That place has skeeters bigger than elephants and water that tastes like it came out of the toilet.
Any fresh water deeper than a puddle in Florida is liable to have a gator in it. When will people ever learn?
Ho wonder New Yorkers go there as fast as they can.
