Everything went wrong😑 But its I’m fine, we’re fine, everything fine🙃, its just going to take a lot more effort than I originally had planned😅 Gator boys will be gator boys so just gotta role with the punches🙃…….. #gator #boys #wild #wrong plan funny

No eating George Big Mac 😂. Also some great educational content about how alligators typically hunt and attack!! Do you guys enjoy the educational content? ~~~Our rescue gators are wild caught nuisance gators that would’ve otherwise been destroyed. The state of Florida destroys 8,000 “nuisance” gators annually, but we don’t have a nuisance gators problem but rather a nuisance HUMAN problem. 1k people a day move to FL, unsustainably developing the land, and a lot of ignorant people making a nuisance out of themselves. NEVER feed a wild gator, never have kids or pets near the water, and never swim in gator habitat! And of course, never attempt anything you see in my videos! Remember guys, we support our sanctuary through social media, so if you’d like to help the animals (for free), please like, leave a positive comment, and share!! We greatly appreciate it and so do the animals! If you would like to donate to the care of the sanctuary animals, we greatly appreciate any support!!

This is how ALL Wild Alligators behave towards humans approaching. They are terrified of us. That also includes nesting females which have to overcome their fear to protect their nests. Once they get used to people they may become an issue. Naturally, we have co-existed. #alligator #gator #alligators #reptile #reptiles

A large alligator climbing onto a stationary vehicle isn’t random behavior. It’s the overlap of three conditions that Southwest Florida puts in proximity more often than almost anywhere else. The first is size class. The animal in this footage reads as a large adult male, likely in the twelve-foot range. Florida’s official record is 14 feet 3.5 inches, set at Lake Washington near Melbourne, and the heaviest recorded specimen in the state exceeded 1,000 pounds. Animals at this size are solitary, territorial, and far less cautious of human presence than smaller gators. They hold ground. Florida has an estimated 1.3 million alligators, but only a small fraction reach this scale. The second is flood displacement. After heavy rain or storm surge, alligators are pushed out of ponds, canals, and retention systems into unfamiliar terrain. This was documented repeatedly during Hurricane Milton in 2024, with gators appearing in homes, on porches, and inside enclosed spaces. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission notes that sightings increase during flooded conditions, and biologists have observed that displacement can leave large animals temporarily disoriented. The third is territorial posture. Mating season in Florida runs roughly from April through June, when large males expand their range and push smaller animals out of prime territory. In a flooded street, a stationary vehicle isn’t recognized as a car. It’s an obstacle inside newly accessible territory. Warm surfaces, shallow water, and elevation create conditions where a large animal will climb rather than retreat. In Florida, behavior doesn’t change. The environment does. When the landscape shifts, what you’re seeing is a predator applying the same territorial logic to a different map. #Naples #NaplesFlorida #CapeCoral #Gator #FloridaWildlife
