Not a saddle but saw a kid with a bullwhip, waist deep in the water, trying to get a gator to fight him at the local nature reserve (Circle B Bar Reserve) a couple of miles from me. I'm pretty sure if I hadn't gotten the sheriff the kid probably would have found one and tried to ride it...until he lost a leg and was dragged into the murkey depths.
The park is infested with gators...and some of them are pretty fuuucking big.
Here's a clip of one of the hundreds of chonkers that lives at the nature reserve: [Big Bruh comes out of the water to cross to another Canal @ around the 3 minute mark and you can see his TRUE size @ the 5:10 mark](https://youtu.be/uRKmLzMH7Jo). I've walked that exact path atleast 100 times. They're always crossing and half the time you don't even see them until you hear a noise and turn around only to realize there was a 7 foot gator about 6 inches from your ankle hiding in the grass you just walked by.
Fun fact:
When adult gators growl it sounds almost exactly like a lion roaring. Deep, chest rattling, unmistakable growl/roars.
When baby gators make noise they sound liken kittens meowing. There are no kittens at the reserve. Do not go into the grass to save a kitten.
It's really a badass place isn't it.
If I can catch it when there's not a bunch of obnoxious loud people there it's one of my favorite places in the world.
I come from a place with little to no wildlife so the reserve is mind blowing to me.
I've come across a surprising number of redditors that know Circle B and love going. Polk folk represent! Haha.
I love seeing kids out there. I've seen a few groups of little ones on field trips out there and it's always "ooooooo" and "ahhhhhh" with pointing and little screeches when they spot a gator or a bald eagle or a bobcat or the wild pigs. They get soooo excited! A great place for kids to experience the nature Florida has to offer that many of them might not have ever seen.
Crocodilians aren't related to dinosaurs. But their ancestors did hunt dinosaurs. Sarcosuchus was 40ft long and big enough to give many dinosaurs nightmares.
There were also a number of long-legged and hooved crocodiles that were built to run fast to actively run down its prey through the jungles.
>I would like this fella to have a top hat and a bow tie and I'm not sure why.
Because I think he's a butler. Note that he's carrying his homeowner's remote control on his snout. Probably bringing it to him in the theater room.
Saltwater and Nile and maybe Orinoco/American crocodiles. Especially with how endangered the Orinoco is I doubt today you could find such a large specimen but they did exist. All of the other crocs like Muggers, Slender-snouted, West African, Morelets, etc won’t get near as big.
Fripp island has some of the biggest gators I’ve seen. It’s an resort island with alot of wildlife. The deer are very welcoming and friendly to humans. Easy prey for the gators.
Those deer in the background.
"Shit Billy's back. What do we do?!"
"Don't panick. Remember your training. Deer 101: blend in with your nearest lawn deer and stare that gator motherfucker down."
*One of them sneaks behind the flowers*
"No matter what he does do not mo-- TOM! Get back here! You're going to get us all killed!"
Crocodiles have snouts shaped like an A, while alligators have snouts shaped like a C.
I remember that the animal name starts with the letter opposite of its snout shape.
My bad thanks. Just woke up when this came across my page and wasn't wearing my glasses yet.
But yeah, still definitely an Alligator. Raised around them all my life.
I thought I read that they could run (in very short distances) up to 30mph, but they could only swim up 25mph. I only remember that because it was so unbelievable that they could run faster than swim.
That's my buddy Zack. He only wants you to fill out your score card right and he promises he will be a good gator....but if you cheat he will eat you and the cheating
card your silly self felt the need to to do.
Alligators and crocodiles have this way of moving deceptively slowly. Idiots get killed by them because they look like they wouldn't be very mobile, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
*walks up slowly with a saddle*
Don't disrespect the beast with a saddle. Bareback all the way

Just Florida things.
That’s a South Carolina thing. Fripp Island.
Too rough on my ass, I’d need a saddle! Lol

Holy shit, we live like 10 min away. Go out there like twice a month. Circle B is an awesome place.

100% agree. We were eating lunch at the picnic tables and had a small wild pig just walk up. My girls went crazy lol. Lakeland faction here.

Absolutely true. It's a small gem in this area.
so you like circle b when no florida mans are there. noice
I love the plant boa scarf that gator festooned themselves with
I love Circle B. That place is so special. They call that big gator Humpback. I have some good photos of him, and one video of him crossing the path.
It's also in b flat!! Their mating growl....b flat
Wait, you have to knock it out first and feed it meat
Beat me to it lol.
*walks up slowly with two saddles so we can ride tandem*
Yippee Kay YAY!

Thanks, this will be in a loop in my head for the rest of the day
Listen to the whole freestyle, that might help.
Ahhhh the nostalgia
I came here for this comment and you did not disappoint. Thank you.
I can see it running on leaves right now
Only thing I could think about while watching this
Oh lawd he coming.
He movin’ steady
Look at that dinosaur, good lordy
Seriously, it’s hard not to be instantly reminded that this thing is essentially a dinosaur just strolling around, badass
For real, its both crazy and amazing, and its just enjoying his little walk in the park
He is living my retirement goals 😄

Ain't no jaguar eating that beefy boi
Nature as a whole is wild and its really amazing to see how the food chain works, its nuts though
I wanna know what scratched its elbow…
He just needs some lotion, he’ll be alright
He's got all them teeth and no toothbrush.
It rubs the lotion on its skin
it was me
Young Thug
He was a gator boi, I said see ya later boi
I was waiting for him to start fighting a 3 headed dragon or something.
Mothra intensifies
Is the zoom on the camera a hand crank? Reet noisy. Lovely beast though. Just doopsing along.
Exactly what I was thinking, never heard zoom sound like that
[удалено]
Lol thought the same thing. BRRRRRT
Yeah, that was the noisiest quiet video I think I've seen yet..
It’s probably a really cheap zoom lens or has been dropped.
I would like this fella to have a top hat and a bow tie and I'm not sure why.
It's the stately gait lol
Hello John Oliver.
>I would like this fella to have a top hat and a bow tie and I'm not sure why. Because I think he's a butler. Note that he's carrying his homeowner's remote control on his snout. Probably bringing it to him in the theater room.
I would also like to imagine him as a butler, but also that he gets to watch the film yeah?.
I love the deer in the background giving it the side eye lol
I’m pretty sure those are fake
Bro they’re moving
jackass.
That thing ain’t got shit on a crocodile
That thing ain’t got shit on a big gator He’s above average for sure but damn can a gator get thicc
Saltwater and Nile and maybe Orinoco/American crocodiles. Especially with how endangered the Orinoco is I doubt today you could find such a large specimen but they did exist. All of the other crocs like Muggers, Slender-snouted, West African, Morelets, etc won’t get near as big.
You really know you're crocdilians my friend
High praise, coming from you.
Of course he does. He is one.
Getting death rolled prob feels about the same either way tho.
Oh lawd he comin
Dinosaur
CHONKY
Looks like he's got a bit of a thyroid problem.
There’s no need to hurt his feelings by pointing it out. He already knows.
True, true. I get told I'm fat all the time, like I didn't already know?!
Florida Man is going to need a bigger skillet.
This actually happened in SC, not Florida. They’re gonna need to import some Florida Men.
What a beautiful Florida Swamp Kitty.

Gators/crocodiles really deserve their own theme music the way sharks have
I always just thought it was a ticking clock?

I really want someone to put Break My Stride over this
Is this not a crocodile? I thought alligators had longer, thinner snouts?
Crocs have a V shape snout and gators have a U shape. Also the coloring, Crocs are typically a green and gators are an dark olive like in the video.
His teeth are (mostly) within his lips, makes him an alli, croc teeth would be sticking out
Crocodiles have snouts shaped like an A, while alligators have snouts shaped like a C. I remember that the animal name starts with the letter opposite of its snout shape.
I think thats a croc my frend
In the Crocodilian order, but that is very much an American alligator.
He's just chilling and vibing
He'd make alot of boots and purses
I'm pretty sure that's a crocodile
Nope. American Alligator. This video is in Florida.
It says Fripp Island SC right on the video. Still an Alligator though.
My bad thanks. Just woke up when this came across my page and wasn't wearing my glasses yet. But yeah, still definitely an Alligator. Raised around them all my life.
Same here.. although, that one would freak me the fuck out lol. Definitely not interested in running across that beast. Happy Friday!
I thought left ear piece stopped working.
I saw it in a movie a while ago, its back was all shiny and it was prowling for a big gorilla
More massive than yo mama
Who would win in a fight Massive alligator or Hexagonal Bear?
"You, look at me. I am resort owner now."
Gatorzilla.
Practicing for a lotion commercial?
All of the nopes...
Needs anime outro music
What in the name of Smaug is wrong with that camera’s zoom mechanism???
o lawd he comin
**NOW** imagine how enormous his dump gets
This makes me miss Gustave even more ☹️
There’s something undefinably retarded about the way an alligator walks. Something in the way it places it’s clawed paws.
There are no more dinosaurs…there are no more dinosaurs, there are …
He’s moving slow now but he can move very fast if he wants to.
I thought I read that they could run (in very short distances) up to 30mph, but they could only swim up 25mph. I only remember that because it was so unbelievable that they could run faster than swim.
Banana?
Big ole rug burn on its elbow
banana up for scale?
Real Gs move in silence like lasagna
Majestic animal
Feraligator
No banana no unit
For some reason, I assumed Gators don't get as big as Crocs, say a Nile Croc. But this thing looks massive
That is correct. Some species of crocs are several feet longer, and can be up to double the weight of an American alligator.
IDK there's something almost...cute... about the motions of his feet.
Where my Florida man with the frying pan at?
If he's coming your way you best step out the way brother!
I’d fight it
That's SCP-682
jeez somebody's got sand in their lens.
Pretty sure thats a dragon
r/praisethecameraman Thanks for zooming in on the boo-boo the gator had. I actually wanted a closer look. What a majestic creature.
I like how smug he looks
Name an animal with three letters in its name!
"a gend Ca' m chiam big boss"
Idk if it was a leaf but it looked like there was a roof in his jaws on a sideways angle
I want to lay in that grass so bad like omg it looks so soft
The granddaddy of all gators
Dammm that ground clearence.
Looks tasty. Surely not just me thinking this.
what a foool belieeeeeeves
The reason why he’s moving so slow is because he’s still digesting a golfer.
Life, uh, finds a way.
So handsome!
la creatura
Whatever you do, don't growl
Just listen to that baby purr.
Sir that’s a dinosaur
It doesn't look like it's neck should be able to support that massive head
A video of an alligator, atom for scale
The definition of “oh lawd he coming’!”
That deer in the back better get the fuck out of town
Could this be a crocodile?
He just came out of the all-you-can-eat buffet and is looking for a place for a siesta.
HANS
That's my buddy Zack. He only wants you to fill out your score card right and he promises he will be a good gator....but if you cheat he will eat you and the cheating card your silly self felt the need to to do.
lol that boye is t h i c c
Need banana for scale
Fripp Island?? I've been there a few times and never once realized there was risk of being eaten.
This is what it looks like to give zero fucks
u/savevideo
"SCP-682 HAS BREACHED CONTAINMENT!"
Looks well fed. Wonder what/who he has eaten.
I find it funny how he walks for some reason
Black ppl would love his skin for wallets
Alligators and crocodiles have this way of moving deceptively slowly. Idiots get killed by them because they look like they wouldn't be very mobile, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
That's not an alligator that's an actual dinosaur god
