How do Floridians not freak out about these large predatory reptile tanks just walking around their backyards in broad daylight?

Alligators aren't as dangerous as crocodiles, this cohabitation would not be possible if they were replaced by nile or salwater crocodiles. American crocodiles are rare and they mainly eat fishs.
If you approach one on land 8/10 they will run away. In water may Jesus save you
Because we're not pussies.
Guns, fag.
Big Black Crocodile
I have a timeshare in Kissimmee, does that count?
anyone that can own property isn't afraid of a lizard. I'd bet nobody here owns property though. Even in a cheap shithole like florida. That would require getting a job and a wife.
>owns property
>it's a time share
Kek
It's deeded.
I have a couple houses and several other timeshares, but not in Florida. But I still assume I'm the only person here that owns property in Florida of any kind.
Imagine NOT loving giant reptilian killing machines that view people more like companions than as food.
That thing is cool! I have a Figure of one of them.
protip: it's never the gator you see that you have to worry about.
don't go fucking about by the waters edge after dark and they are a non issue
They do. They just express themselves differently than people not from Florida.
Floridian here, gators are pretty normal. You’ll see gators near or in any body of water. They don’t bother you if you don’t bother them. If you’re in the water and a gator decides to take a bite you’re fucked. But if you get close to the water on land and a gator is lurking they might just jump out to get you. And sometimes if you’ve pissed them off they will chase you down.
They can run faster than you can and they can climb trees better than you can. You have to run in big zig zags to slow them down because they can’t turn as fast as a human.
We practiced this in school growing up so we would be prepared. Alligator Defensive Awareness Practice Training (ADAPT).
Alligators Don’t Always Pursue Turns
Alligators Disguise As Pieces of Trees
Alligators Don’t Attack Perceptive Travelers
That kind of stuff. Their eyes are their only weak point by the way, and their jaws are impossible to open up but relatively easy to hold closed.
A lot of transplants and snowbirds don’t understand that gators exist and don’t know how to deal with gators so they are getting eaten and increasing the attack rates
Native Americans used to shove logs in their mouth and then stab them in the back of the neck.
Cajuns, I believe.
Imagine being afraid of lizards.
>Cajuns
>Native Americans
WE WUZ NATIVES N SHIT
Cajuns are fr*nch
>they can run faster than you can
Not me. I'm fast as fuck and could easily outrun any alligator.
look at that gash across its shoulder, poor gator 🙁
And people still think gators are the biggest danger in florida...
Florida man here, because gators aren't really a threat if you're not a small child or dog. Just don't walk your dog at sunset along a lake and you'll likely never encounter a gator unless you go out into a swamp or watershed looking for them.
>gators aren't really a threat if you're not a small child or dog
ok
right, notice how it's not doing anything at all? it doesnt care about those people in the slightest. It just wants to get to the next lake
Let's be a little DNA waste like you and pretend adult humans don't have a) a fucking mature brain that allows them to deal with situations, b) knowledge what gators are and can do, and c) eyes in the head.
Do you also walk into heavy traffic, thinking the world needs to adapt, not you?
what an absolute fucking unit
what is that guy gonna do if the gator decides to run towards him at its full speed (35mph)?
Run a few dozen feet to the sides of it for like three minutes. Gators aren’t renowned for their stamina or ability to turn on a dime while running, one that big will tire out quickly trying to go full tilt, especially in the heat of the day.
They are relatively timid, easygoing, and cannot chase you on land. Don't get in water or too close to water that might have gators (pretty much anything larger than a puddle) and you'll have no problem.
Theyre not stuck with the gators, the gators are the ones stuck with them.
This. I don’t live in Florida but in North Carolina. There was a Publix near me and next to the parking lot there was this water runoff thing that had a fence around it. Two alligators lived in it, a big one and a small one. They could enter and leave through the storm pipes, but animal control or whoever had to relocate them because some kids jumped the fence to get close to them. The poor guys were just chilling. The big one had been there for years.
>red states go on about 'muh gun rights'
>can't even shoot a gator with a pellet gun without getting arrested
Lol,
Lmao even.
Not everyone is a gay like you
Cause they’re friendly as hell and love getting pets also they’ll let you put your head in their mouth
I'm going to Georgia this christmas. Are you trying to trick me?
Is this true?
what part?
it's like how californians don't mind having massive wildfires every year, or middle americans are ok with living in cardboard houses that are suHispaniciously vulnerable to being annihilated by a tornado
you just get used to it and it doesn't seem so scary
when I lived in the Midwest as a little kid our house was brick. it's just the newer suburbs that are built like shit
Don't fall for the yuropoor's cope. Brick homes are exceptionally dangerous in the Midwest. Imagine the debris. Bricks flying through the air at 70mph. The "flimsy" houses are much safer and cheaper to replace as needed.
>yuropoor's
Americans are constantly seething.
Post images you fucking fucks.
other way around bongistani, europoors are constantly seething about "muh americans"
they should test dome shaped houses like in dbz, i bet they could withstand tornadoes well and they look cool
It’s not the Midwest, it’s everything between the Midwest and the west coast
i went to disney world and the first thing they tell you is if you see one it is NOT AN ANAMATRONIC
this was before that little girl got eaten btw
WTF they can't just keep them away from the park ?
disney world is twice the size of manhattan.
They climbs fences and swim through canals
They're based scaledoggos who keep candy ass liberals out of parks and eat homeless people. Pretty much Florida's greatest asset.
Fuckin-a
>eat homeless people
holy shit I never thought about this. living outside in Florida is extremely dangerous. this limits the shantytowns of heroin wraiths. I might have to move there.
So you are saying to move all the San Francisco and New Vegas homeless into the Floridian swamps for the gators, or are those too disgusting/would make the gators as much diabetics as the usual residents of the original cities
>New Vegas
Las Vegas you idiot. Anyways if you think SanFran hobos are any more diabetic/unhealthy than Floridian hobos, you're an idiot
>New Vegas
The estrogen is located at
>he doesn't know
>relocating New Vegas homeless
t.Robert House
>New Vegas
>New Vegas
God I wish I were that catfish
If you change your food and add lactose u will repell certain human beings
Alligators aren't nearly as aggressive as most people think. The average one will slink off into the water to hide. Crocodiles however, are aggressive and it's recommended that you don't go anywhere near them in South Florida.
>They're based scaledoggos who keep candy ass liberals out of parks and eat homeless people. Pretty much Florida's greatest asset.
"Liberal" here, I love going outdoors. The only people who are scared of alligators are anyone outside of the most southern of the Southeastern states.
