I seen something like that,the fool stuck his head into the gators mouth and 1 drop of sweat dropped into the gators mouth causing the mouth to close.. I bet he was a poster child for the tylenol corp. the next day

I seen that one also, what kind of dumb buts are they? . You ever see the story on the shark attack in fresh water, the sharks made there way up a outlet into the ocean and made it to a fresh water lake or pond or something. I believe 2 people were killed and a dog came up missing.

Re: "not just your everyday animal sightings".

May I ask how many? And how big?

Don't recall because they were pretty common place across the stateand just part of the scenery. I do, however, specifically recall sitting on a campground dock in the evening and watching one cruise up and down a nearby bank.

I wouldn't be too concerned with the "wild" gators. It's the ones who have lost their fear of humans that could be trouble; you know, the cute gators that John and Sally Dumbass train to come and be fed?

Re: "not just your everyday animal sightings".

I don't know, 90% local people says there are no gators in North Alabama, but 10% of local people have heard of or seen gators in weiss lake, coosa river, logan martin. I want to say the one at logan martin was an escaped gator from the zoo or something. My uncles have been fishing up at weiss lake for years and never said that gators were once a common thing to see on weiss lake. Although they say what everybody else says from the grape vine that a gator has been spotted there and a gator has been spotted there. Think of it we don't have alligator warning signs up here, when I was in gulf shores alligator signs were everywhere.

Re: "not just your everyday animal sightings".

if you do run across a gator,they are only aggressive if their hungary or if its mating season,and on dry land they can run 30 mph for a short distance..other than that they will run from you,mating season is the worst thou,they will chase you and attack..

Re: "not just your everyday animal sightings".

That's nice to know , since I can't run in the first place because of my ankle and of course if I could run I wouldn't be able to run that fast. I would half to run then jump to the side or zig zag to get away from it or till one of us wore out.

Re: "not just your everyday animal sightings".

that will work,but after doing the zig zag and the gator starts to pass you,you have to be quick to cut the gators tail off,or you may end up intertaining at mcdonalds..

Re: "not just your everyday animal sightings".

I believe they actually tested that or tried to test the zig zag theory and running from a gator on Mythbusters.

Re: "not just your everyday animal sightings".

No,that don't work,I was just being a smart a**,best defense from a gator chasing you would be a shotgun I think.

actually its the gators in mating season you should be cautious of..
