Why in the fuuuuuuu u get in water knowing there are gators around….
Heck yeah 😂😂😂
The stupidest thing you can do, is go to Florida and get inside a lake
Time to leave the USA. 😮
You could have actually thrown a stone to the alligator.
Out here in Florida is crazy I live in Orlando Florida😵😵😵😵
Why would you go in the water in Florida, no matter which way you go, you have something in the water that will try to eat you?
Why mix shark's in the story?
8n Florida – stay out of fresh water.
I can't see going within 20ft of the waters edge in Florida there just might be a Disanti…… l mean aligator in the water
Close call, at least 100 ft away
Where is the real story in this. I see another person jumping into the eyes after the second girl reaches the man running out to get her. There are way too many gators or Crocs in the water for the one who jumped to make it across yo safety. What was she thinking? Why did she jump when there were so many gators/Crocs so close by.
Where is she now? Where is the proof she made it across safely???
😲Swimming at Huntsville state park? That’s a big ‘ol nope! Took my kids there years ago just to have lunch. I paid to get in began to drive into the park and there was a sign that said something like Alligators are present. 🤦🏻♀️Was like great I just paid to go somewhere I wouldn’t have gone had I known about the alligators. Went to a picnic table and we ate real dang fast and took off! 😂. Hubby and FIL went fishing in the Trinity River in Huntsville. They said snakes were hanging down from the trees😲 and never returned. There are alligators in nearby Lake Conroe too. Bro was fishing in his kayak and an alligator was going right alongside him 😲 Apparently alligators are in most lakes, rivers not just Texas.
Did not know Texas had alligators. Cant swim, but know i wouldn't so much as Wade in ANY body of water in Florida. Now I can add Texas.
This why I like cakifornianwe never have to worry about stuff like this
Where are the trump men supporters?
The gator has probably been feed many times by humans. He may have assumed the screaming was the dinner bell. Unfortunately for wildlife the ones that think they are helping them are actually killing them.
The last person that decided to jump into the water even had the gator going 'yo are you nuts?'
Again……….. how is it possible people swim in a lake where alligator are known to be………???????🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
It’s really hard to feel bad……..
One minute here so it is uderstood that alligators lives in those waters ? My guess would be they did not know Alligators live in those waters .
Why you'll swimming in alligators water
I honestly think the croc was being overly nice that day. 😅😅
Dad: "Girls no more scouting trips."
Kids: "But dad!?"
Dad: "But not a word!, you will become croc stew". 😂
I mean I wouldn’t be caught dead in water looking like that anyway.
Dumb
Who in their right mind swims in Florida fresh water or salt or brackish? Swimming pool… fully enclosed…too many critters with teeth.
They just come out if the blue
I love how the interviewer asked… “Why?”.
if thats a croc they'd all be poop by now…glad gators aren't as opportunistic on stupid prey than crocs.(and im not referring to the the girls).
It's funny how you use a Bear Trap, Now you know how the animals feel! The ocean is their home.😊
“OMG, there’s an alligator heading toward those kids! I better grab my phone and get video of this!”
I do not understand: how did this go from a swampy lake to a surfer on the Atlantic.
This is scary.. take care all.
Why does the last girl on the dock JUMP into the water as the alligator is on the hunt…stay on the dock!
