I've never been to Florida so this gator stuff sounds crazy. So these people jumping in the canal do they ever get attacked?

It is rare which is crazy. They go tubing in rivers and lakes, swim in canals. The gators attack dogs more than people, shit people feed these things, and they will come up to your porch.

How big can gators get Bigfoot!?

Depends. Biggest one I caught fishing was 8ft, biggest one I saw was 11ft. Rumors of some deep in the backwaters over 15ft.

Alligators dont go for bigger prey, so they are unlucky to go after a human. They dont want to fight. They want to eat. So, you got to invade their territory or really **** with them. But, I do have a friend whose dad got half his face bitten off by one. He was trying to catch him and he leaned over the boat and the gator got him. They will kill you, but you have to be an asshole or be around a hungry gator. Thats why they move around so much because they are always looking for food.

Im pretty sure that was a real video. I have never seen that big, but yes, they can get huge.

To be able to see a Gator that big is very rare. The bigger gators are back deep in the back waters

Gatorland is awesome, but yeah backwoods water is hard to reach canals that you can get to only by a canoe, and you will be walking through marsh. Damn good fishing though

Da fuq? Are you trolling me? Alligators are fresh water animals. I mean I could catch one and throw him in the ocean and hope he mates with a dolphin and we get a Gatordolphin, but Remy would punch it and I dont want that.

You had a perfect excuse to say Gatorphin and failed. Do better.

Of course, duh. You just look over at the gator and tell em GTFO, you don't even live here.

Exactly.

We went on a airboat tour in the Everglades and the tour guide said that their backs are so strong that you could take a sledge hammer to it and do no harm. Is that really true?

The Alabama Alligator (The Stokes Alligator) – 15 feet and 9 inches (4.8 meters)

Five members of the Stokes family captured and killed a giant alligator at the Alabama river on August 16, 2014, which measured 15 feet and 9 inches long and weighed 1,011.5 pounds (~458.8 kg). Most sources pick this one as the largest alligator ever recorded. It can be viewed in the Mann Wildlife Learning Museum, Montgomery. Mandy Stokes, who shot dead the animal, has said the the alligator was 24 – 28 years old, which was determined from an analysis of its leg bone.

More scary are them invading Crocs...

No. 1: Lolong (6.17 meters/20 feet 3 in)

Lolong was the largest crocodile in captivity. He was an Indo-Pacific or saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) measured at 20 ft 3 in (6.17 m), and weighed 2,370 lbs (1,075 kg), making him one of the largest crocodiles ever measured from snout-to-tail.
