  12. He probably smells human

  13. Damnnn, I have beachfront property in SC! Do they swim in salt water!? Oh by the way its definitely NOT dead, it's tail is moving it forward!

  14. Oh that's terrible, for an alligator to do that.

  15. Gator ๐ŸŠ just floating like la de dah

  16. This is the most Florida thing I have ever seen

  17. Creepy that gators are actually in people's yards!!!!Watch your pets & children!

  18. Imagine how excited this dude would be if he ever has sex.

  19. What do you except when you get high water. Living that close to gators.

  20. He looks dead the current is pushing his body or if he was swimming he wouldn't have been forced up against the side of the walkway. He would have kept going forwards up the walkway. Also if you notice his tail is not going back forth like gators swim guiding the path through the water nor is his legs moving. What little movement that he's doing is from the current propelling him along until he is propelled up against the side of the walkway and kept in that position by the current of the water. That is probably why is no more video of him actually swimming up to the gazebo. North climbing over the railing yes Gators can climb a fence.

  21. Bout time I heard a man say oh my god!

  22. It's hunting time ๐Ÿ”ซ alligators for dinner ๐Ÿฝ ๐Ÿฅ—
