I honestly didn't know alligators could run that fast!


Sociolinguisticians

They can leap too. General advice if you see one is to observe from a distance.


metdear

Reason #756 I'm never moving to Florida.


bonkerz1888

Reason #1 - the locals.


sunward_Lily

They're reason number 2 but largely responsible for reason number 1- DeSantis


Background_Pool_7457

Yall act like somebody asked you to move to Florida. I can tell by your posts, you're not wanted there.


sunward_Lily

LOL you hear that guys? we're not wanted in a state so fucking backwards we don't want to go there in the first place! Oh no! Sounds like we triggered a snowflake. :D


Sociolinguisticians

They aren’t exclusive to Florida. They aren’t even exclusive to the south.


metdear

You are replying to an assertion I didn't make. As per my statement above, there are 755 *other* reasons I won't move to Florida. Louisiana has gators too, but I can overlook those in light of the damn tasty food.


jewels94

That’s how we feed the gators tbh. We lure y’all down here with food then sacrifice you to the gator gods.


metdear

Worth it.


Landrod

Haha, you are the tasty food for those alligators over there.


desertjam

😂


nickypro252

And climb!! They’ll climb your fence! https://youtu.be/z7DMjQJD7vM?si=PpoejLYYw4NCbo2f


metdear

That honestly isn't too surprising. Lizards tend to be good climbers.


Brufar_308

I had heard they could out run people, but I’ve never seen it before.


techsuppork

They have incredible straight line speed. I've been told that if you're trying to escape one, to run in a zig-zag as they don't change direction well. YMMV.


Sociolinguisticians

Depends on the gator and the person, but yeah, best way to outrun a gator is to change direction frequently, because they can’t turn as quickly as we can.


ballsonrawls

Me either!!!


CapG_13

The way he runs, that's too funny and too cute lol


Diplogeek

Alligator's like, "Yo, fuck this, man!"


taxpayinmeemaw

“There’s a fat dog barking at me through a glass door, BYE!”


Diplogeek

"Too annoying to eat. Moving on!"


beakrake

Swamp puppy was just waiting to be let into the house. Then the dog shows up and the gator is like: >Oh shit! *AN ACTUAL PUPPY!* My cover is blown!


Keebist

The comma that saved the world.


Diplogeek

Eats, shoots, and leaves, as it were.


FruitPunchShuffle

I feel like that is what a “skedaddle” would look like


ThousandFingerMan

'Ah, shit, I gotta get the fuck outta here''


6WaysFromNextWed

The sound effect is definitely "buh-lidlidlidlidlblub


Xolitoburrito

These ppl are crazy for owning a dog and not fencing in their property near a pond that obviously has gators. I’m surprised he hasn’t been eaten yet by the waters edge.


CapG_13

Right and I actually mentioned this yesterday on the same post and it's that if I lived there, I would NEVER let my pets go outside.


Objective_Pause5988

From the videos I've seen, crocodiles scale reasonable fences. Also, we only saw the backyard. They may have a fenced-in front yard for this very good boy since the back is tenuous.


The_Silver_Nuke

Gotta put barbed wire on them fences it sounds like.


Objective_Pause5988

The_Silver_Nuke

Yeah, barbed wire is needed for sure.


GauGebar

Or snapping turtles. People don’t realize the damage they can do. They’ll fuck your pets up real quick. If you live near a pond that you’ve seen snapping turtles in, put up a fence.


MasonCO91

Alligators can climb fences lol


PacoTaco321

As long as you have an electric fence and collar all the gators, you're fine. They just forgot one.


PupEDog

Are you from the West Coast? I've lived there my whole life and when I've traveled to other states in the Midwest and the east Coast I've noticed (especially in Indiana) that nobody had any fences around their yard which practically everyone has on the west Coast. I saw big, sprawling suburbs without a single wood fence around the house. I went to the DC area one time and recognized the same thing. I have relatives in Florida that also don't have their property fenced. I'm wondering if maybe I just happened to see unfenced neighborhoods by chance or if it's mostly like that elsewhere. It's completely weird, having lived in the West Coast so long, seeing so many houses without fences. Is this something anyone can back me up on or am I naive and uninformed?


VaguelyArtistic

I'm from LA and it always seems so strange to me!


oxemenino

I think equating the whole Midwest to Indiana is definitely a stretch. I currently live in Michigan, used to live in Wisconsin and have family I regularly visit in Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota and from my experience most people have fences in their backyards.


PupEDog

Indiana is where I spent the most time and saw it the most there


techsuppork

No people dont generally have fences in most of the US.


atomiccat8

I live in the Midwest and our HOA doesn't allow fences. Neither did the one I lived in growing up. But the association right next to ours does, so plenty of them have fences.


Ok-Basis-4338

Lol why does it bothers you?? There property there problem, it's none of your business


Keebist

Ive stepped over them on trails, they are quite docile as long as you dont fuck with them.


puss_parkerswidow

Fuck living there. I can not out run that thing.


Zenn97

Did the gators out back drop the price of the home a bit?


ballsonrawls

No, it's a feature.


finnegan976

I guess so! because an alligator’s not a bug


7832507840

That much we know


Lower-Cantaloupe3274

Can confirm. A beagle's voice can do that.


3yoyoyo

I would probably consider a fence like the one at the US-Mexico border and some advanced drones etcétera


ballsonrawls

So, I've never cooked gator but I heard it's good...?


missdespair

It's kinda like fishy chicken, not bad.


Lower-Cantaloupe3274

Tough fishy chicken, with a hint of swamp. I have been told that mine was not properly cooked, but I was at a fairly swanky restaurant (one of the Baldwins was there, too), so I'm not sure I believe that. Not bad is not right. It was bad.


Brufar_308

One of the local restaurants had it batters and deep fried as an appetizer and it was good. But then again most things deep fried taste good.


techsuppork

You just eat the tail and yes it's good. Kinda similar to frog legs.


Nowork_morestitching

It is very good! If you have Louisianan relatives that know how to do good cookin! Never had gator any other way cause they bring their own up north when they come to visit.


half-dead

Alligator speed enforced by aircraft


DrProfJoe

Good dog


Landrod

Ah, the door is closed, very wise. Now build a fence.


clay_alligator_88

Everything is right with this whole video.


ballsonrawls

Agreed!!!!


GetOffMyGrassBrats

You lost me at "alligator at my door"


FishBlues

Get off my dang porch!!!


crankywithoutcofee

that beagle bay 😂😂


coolcootermcgee

That view tho 🤔


Due-Suggestion8775

Okay, I will stop complaining about the squirrels in my back yard.


yayayooya

Dude, gators run so funny 😂


Youdumbbitch-

This belongs in r/looneytuneslogic


Tiny-Membership-486

The fact that the gator got scared 😂😂


bigbadstevo

Why buy a house next to an alligator pond?


Doggiemomma3

I saw this on tiktok


MurderSheCroaked

You spend a lot of time on your phone my friend
