Never tip your hat and stop to talk a while, Don’t be taken in by his welcome grin...

And anyway, on a large gator or croc all you have to do is flip them and rub their belly. They go to sleep.

Great story, too. There is a link to an extended interview with the guy who was watching a hockey game at a rink with his kids and he got paged. Religious guy, and his MMA handle is “bluecollarmauler”!

Seemed like he would be a fun guy to know...former Marine, very good natured, God fearing, and non-Gator fearing! Had a genuine smile on his face the whole time!

That’s cool. I wonder if he would consider FReeping? He’d go over well around here.

Was the gator being transferred to the Rio Grande?

Gigantic?!?!?!?!?!

There are gators in the Okefenokee that could swallow that gator whole.

"The officer had to undergo surgery and is on the road to recovery."

And the gator is just on the road...

No! Don’t kill the gator, he’s just on his way to the Rio Grande. There’re plenty of snacks there for him.

Poor guy. Joe Dirt got bit on the head and flung around and it didn’t even draw blood!

I have to talk them off of my floating dock, so I can get to my skiff, once in a while.
The ten footers, I’ll talk to, it’s the 14 foot and up I tend to just schedule my boating for later.

Just showed hubby. His response? “Git ‘er done!”

I think he’s a naturalized Southerner/ Floridian now. I have worn him down. ;)

Now the folks around south Louisiana
Said Amos was a hell of a man
He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator
And just use one hand
That’s all he got left cuz alligator bit it!
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow!

It was pretty much the feel-good video of the last month. 😁
