FARGO, Ga. — Amazing video shows what looks like hundreds of alligators congregating in the Okefenokee Swamp in south Georgia.
The video, shared by Marty Welch via ABC News, shows the perspective from a motorboat as a man tries to navigate his way through the water
“There’s gators everywhere,” he says. “They’re laying on the banks. You might want to sit down!”
The gators appear unphased by their visitor.
“I would be panicking! Imagine that boat flips over. Instantly you will become a happy meal!” one Facebook user wrote.
The Okefenokee is known for its abundance of amphibians and reptiles including American alligators. The Swamp is a 438,000-acre protected wetland with several canals that run through it.
A buddy of mine and I put a boat in on the Trinity River in Texas. It was high tide. We went down the river to get some fishing in. We saw gators on a sand bank but they ignored us.
On the way back up river, the tide was out and we ran aground. So the two of had to get out and push the boat across a couple of sand bars right in front of about 20 gators. They stayed where they were, so we were very relieved.

VERY sage advice.
It’s like nere-do-wells and other goody seekers at a left wing march.
I read a story about a German tourist somewhere in Africa that was in a tour boat and he looked over the side and a big crocodile came up and snatched him. Later they found only bits of clothing.
Some of them are smiling
Yeah.
Then there was the guy , in response to a sign that advised of gator infested waters, that yelled “**** the alligators!” right before jumping in.
Was gone pretty much as soon as he hit the water.
