Came upon the same gator two years ago and turned around. Two minutes later there's a guy on a bicycle coming towards me. When I asked him how he got around the gator he said he just picked up his bike and jumped over it. Said the gator was harmless. I'll continue to err on the side of caution.
The thing is people think they are slow movers. They are NOT. They can run at 9 MPH. And they do it from laying around to reaching that speed. VERY unpredictable. I honor you, Tim lol
Not that wise run pass gators. Very easy to drive gators off the trail is to use long twigs just knock it’s back or hit hard if it aggressive. Actually all gators are aggressively and crawl like boss, you guys pick up solid clay or rock then aim hard to it’s belly. They will crawl away faster, it won’t hurt them because they have strong skin. When you hiking like, just look for dried twigs about 7 foot or longer with you to drive gators off the trail. They will back for sunbathe to digest food in their stomach. When youdon’ Have anything just use your urinary to make clay then aim at it face as hard to drive them away. Your urinary actually yummy for them as scent of meat for their food. So don’t pee in water while you across the water. Animals don’t understand they will just ran away when you throw anything at their face or hands. Hope you guys don’t let your body parts in gators stomach, they have very strong bite force to break your bones and spin to tear your flesh.
Do you think those gators lay and wait for lunch to come down the trail ? That is so scary you know how fast they can be , I don't trust them I'm a Florida girl too .
Kept thinking 1. While u worried about second, the first was creeping up. 2. Velociraptor scenario. Watching the second and a third was waiting in the bushes
This March I was trying to get to the Fakahatchee Hilton. The trail was narrow and edges overgrown. And water was up. I didn't see the gator until I almost stepped on its tail. It hissed at me. I would have gone on but was worried there may be more of the same up ahead.
They can run super fast. Not sure they attack humans on land but in water it's another story. What a monster, lying there waiting for some little animal to get near. He's probably at least 20 years old and wise enough to leave humans alone. They never stop growing.
I know this may sound strange to you but if you'll sneak up there like you're trying to catch that thing it'll go in the water cuz it'll be scared I'm just saying. 🤔 Stop being prey and become predator 😎

Easy Brother! You know how fast they can change directions. I learned that the hard way!
Yep! In an instant.

Big fella!!!
Such a handsome boy!!!
Bring an extra ham sammich for the gators to distract them. Oh, and some Fritos and a Root Beer.
Dumbass that gets gators killed because they lose their fear of humans are IDIOTS for doing so. UGH
That took nerves bro !! Thanks for capturing it on camera.
I wonder if that’s the same big boy I’ve seen out there before....incredible! Oh, & you’re certifiable lolol
You are crazy! Sure love your vids!
I was waiting for the gator to jump..lol

The first time you see a gator catch a cow egret flying over him, you'll quit gator jumping!!

Wow really they run fast? Holly crap I'm glad I live in Oregon.
Wow that was awesome! Where is this place?
Thanks, the Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park is in southwest Florida.
I lost , I bet the gator would win that standoff! Fantastic videos! Thanks for sharing
Dude, your crazy.

Did you bring an extra pair of shorts? 😳😬
My dad called it laundry trouble. 😂
There is no way I'd be that close to an alligator that size. He didn't get that big from not eating well. Be safe
He was wondering why you were interrupting his nap..
I'd be spending the night in a tree.
Run and jump over him! He's not going to chase you 😂. Love the videos 👍

You are very brave!
What would you actually do if one of them got you? Seems a little risky. Why not get a really long branch and bother him until he moves?
Ah, nature.
OMG Tim. Y'all playing with the big gators. I would have screamed bloody murder. Please be safe.
The next gen Steve Irwin right here xD

Gator was basking in the sun. He was enjoying his leisure time. Next time, poke him...see what he does.
He wasn't in any sun.
Nucking Futz !!!
Omg ! Talk about stuck between a rock and a hard spot !
Great jump!
Your funny. Trying to get by them Gators lol
He is a friendly gator, go and pet him and rub his belly
That thing has seen a lot of people on those trails if it didn’t care to move when you rushed it. Never seen one do that
Sissy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
To jump over a gator you better be quick and agile enough otherwise don't go his way.
LoL. Great video 👍
Lol that gator!
Tim, You are in THEIR swamp. How about taking it easy on the cursing.
Tim, you crazy Man. BUT thanks for the fun video. Crock jumping, what a day : ) As usual, great Video.
Um. Okay, that one is pretty big.
Maybe you should try pole vaulting LOL.........
This Trail is not suitable for humans. Get out of there man
How a lucky man you are!
The eligator may pretend to
be sleeping .
Eligator??? Lmfao
Wow it's a big boy...
Lmaopml! Braver man than I
Be safe~
A Ranger with a shotgun with rubber bullets can train the alligators to stay clear of humans and off the trail. Safer for everyone.
🤣No way. Don’t go there.We’ll let the cussing pass this time. 🤣. Your mad as a hatter. Who says ‘git’ to an alligator?

Alligators that size don't know the meaning of scared
kind of funny...you should give im or she a name and become friends..:)
He/ she doesnt care whos hungry.. There in there home relaxing.. you better watch your jumps and look behind you....
This fool goes out there in these places alone without being armed?What a fool...
Yeah guns are always the answer. BS - he used his BRAIN. Most real men do.
no god tho.?.
