It's like Degobah out there. You can hear the ultrasonic mating calls of the gators and man there are plenty of them! Orb weaver spiders as big as your hand, catching birds in webs strung between trees. That place is like nature on steroids. Everything grows lush.

We’ve likely all seen them bursting out of the water during ambush hunting, but seeing it speed through the water was delightful. Obviously, it wasn’t for you. You handled that really well.

    As someone who used to go to school by rowing wooden boat when I was a 13-17. I can tell you that alligator is a territorial creature. Big one usual by itself while smaller one always in a group. In this video it attacked because it feels threatened and you're near its territory. A good tip when you're close to an alligator when boating or kayaking in a swamp is to make sure you row slowly, make sure your rowing doesn't generate huge waves and never turn your boat/kayak towards or against the alligator. I'm no expert and never was but this is what I used to do when I accidentally get to close to an alligator or a group of them back then. When I was young, my country is poorly developed . Incase anyone wondering why I boat to school. Pardon me for my poor English.
