I genuinely thought that the Gator was gonna follow up as soon as he fell in. Their behavior is to usually do so after an attack, thank goodness he’s alive.

[@erensfeet5563]

The man is likely near an alligators nest and the mother was just giving warning to the kayak dude. Also alligator mothers dont hunt near their nest as the smell can attract other bigger alligators to her nest and eat her babies

[@somedude5465]

@@erensfeet5563 it isn't about hunting. Any defensive attacks by that alligator COULD kill that guy. She wouldn't LIKE to, but, at the end of the day, it's defending it's nest and WILL to the DEATH. The ONLY reason this guy is alive is because he got caught on those branches and didn't stay under. He was about to be turned into gator poop had those branches not been there.

[@phantomshrooms5232]

@@somedude5465 the alligator didn’t want to kill him tho. If it did it would’ve sticker around. No, just like the dude said, she gave him a warning. Also the branches kinda did nothing

I've been there before, except my gator was bigger. I had the paddle quick to get away, and it chased me down for a good 100 yards or more. This happened in Sam Rayburn in TX. By the way

You are correct that it is rare, the only reason she did this is because it was mating season and she was protecting her nest.

[@michaelhudson2867]

[@hyena131]

@pattiecarr5599 No, he wasn't trespassing. It wasn't a smart thing to do but he wasn't trespassing. Us humans live on this planet also, have a right to do so and also have a right to kayak in rivers like this providing we don't harm the animals when doing so. Which was exactly the case here.

This reminds me of that story where this three group of friends were kayaking through this crocodile-infested river in Africa, they were going through some extreme sports thing then one of their friends got taken into the water by a crocodile. Never to be seen again. Apparently the locals were even afraid to go boating for food through the rivers because many of their fishermen were taken by crocs while in their boat.

[@danialabdullah29]

As someone who used to go to school by rowing wooden boat when I was a 13-17. I can tell you that alligator is a territorial creature. Big one usual by itself while smaller one always in a group. In this video it attacked because it feels threatened and you're near its territory. A good tip when you're close to an alligator when boating or kayaking in a swamp is to make sure you row slowly, make sure your rowing doesn't generate huge waves and never turn your boat/kayak towards or against the alligator. I'm no expert and never was but this is what I used to do when I accidentally get to close to an alligator or a group of them back then. When I was young, my country is poorly developed . Incase anyone wondering why I boat to school. Pardon me for my poor English.
