No worse that a water moccasin. In context, they attack more often as well. If you visit Florida you’re more likely to get a flesh eating bacteria & they are, Florida has a lottery system to hunt them.

I get what your saying. I assume you don't have kids. Kids that live for lake season and swimming. I understand the deal with sharks and ocean. That's their habitat. But not here in our lakes with gators. The Disney thing really hit home with me because my son is the same age as that boy. I'm just tryin to keep my son safe while he does what he loves

All about respect. Don’t swim with them unless you’re a pro. I grew up in north port on the coco plum canal. Tons of alligators. We cohabit and respect each other. I fished often and was on a boat as a teenager by myself. When relatives from NYC came down we’d take them down the canal at 10pm with flashlights and watch the gators. They were terrified. My Dad and I weren’t. We enjoyed them and they kept distance. We didn’t feed them but they loved lights.

We built a sandbar (marine Corp red neck style) on the canal to help us fish out back and dock the John boat. One time (12 years old), I was walking down to fish for brim and bass and a 14 footer was on my beach. I was stopped in my tracks but realized he didn’t see me. When I went back inside to get the disposable camera, he heard me and took off like I was a 20ft giant. It was terrified but it kept an eye on me. I wouldn’t dare swim with it. I fished and it sat 40 feet away, watching me. I’ll admit I still have nightmares about that damn alligator. Biggest I’ve seen in the wild.

Dude. My dog was bit by a moccasin and lived. And the boy was killed at Disney by a 7ft gator iirc. You cannot sit there and tell me you would be fine with swimming with gators

Gators are about the 368th thing you have to worry about your 4 year old dying from.

It’s like walking around looking into the sky worrying a giant eagle is going to swoop down, pick them up, and fly away with them. They look scary so people are terrified of them for some reason.

First you start talking about gators. Next thing you know you're wearing jorts , drinking natty lite , and ending sentences with "Rock On" or " I like to party".

If you do encounter one here’s some advice. Throw a shirt over it’s eyes and get in it’s blind spot. (Directly behind the last scout before the tail) and jump on its neck holding its head down unto proper authorities can get there.

I am sorry, but I seriously doubt anyone on this board would actually consider trying this technique.

I would rather talk about gators and swamp things before talking about the evil Tyrant group of haslams. We’ve about drove that one down to the core.

And how big are these giant eagles you speak of? Where would you rank them in the things to worry about with your 4 year old...are they going to be in the top 367 things or down the list a bit more?

Asking for a friend...

The gator talk reminded me of this video contrasting two golfers reactions to seeing an alligator...pretty funny:

Hey Cat, a little late to the party here as I’m catching up:

Great song! I really like it. Reminds me of some songs off the FIFA games back in the day.

Millennials are people born anywhere from the mid 80s to the very beginning of the 2000s. Clearly most aren't teenagers anymore and most of that population doesn't have teenage kids yet. The current teenage population is on the very tail end of that population and has been raised under largely different circumstances than the previous.

Happy Easter.

Early 2000s...2019 class... looks like we're getting the tail end of the millennial kids if your words are correct. 🤔
