Alligators Guarding Culverts From Beavers

[@jeebus022]

I am now saying that we have scientific proof that the gators watch your videos, are standing guard against angry beavers, and were all out and about to see the post 10 himself in public.

[@post.10]

You got much closer to the alligators than I would! My feet wouldn’t hold still long enough to look. Thanks for the close ups of them.😊👍

[@weirdmatter]

He's nuts for that. I heard the alligator he didn't notice right away growling before he knew it was there. Good thing he didn't trip and fall.

[@Hatbox948]

That did seem close. I think there's probably one's you can't see lurking around too.

[@DollHouseMadam]

1:50 that water is so clear. Beautiful!

[@awakenedangrycensoredameri4459]

Near Crystal River Florida?

[@gatorgogo2742]

Beautiful country down there. Be careful around gators. They are faster than you think and can jump out of the water to grab prey. I used to have one that lived in the bayou out front that liked to bask on the patio. My daughter came to stay for a while and was on a lounge. The gator eased up next to her and went to sleep. She saw him and eased off the other side of the lounge and beat-feet into the house! She quickly learned to sunbathe on the back side of the house! Enjoy your time down here! Thanks. I love watching gators!

[@Here.WeGoNow]

Luckily for humans and gators we are not on the menu. The exception being a gator that has been fed by humans.

Forget the alligators … watch out for Nile crocodiles. They actually eat people

[@chalky_white]

I am from the north east. Grew up in New England. But I also spent 17 years living in South Florida. I think Florida is great. I had such a great time there. And it really does have its own nature. I’m thrilled that you are able to spend time in both of these places and hopefully we will getan awesome winter camping video from you soon! It’s supposed to get very very cold very soon!

[@bert9311]

The high level of water starts all the way up south of Orlando with the Kissimmee River that feeds into Lake Okeechobee that feeds the Everglades aka River of Grass. Beautiful there.

[@MacAulish-mw6vt]

That alligator can run faster than you for about 30 yards, so give them plenty of space !!

AHH the picture of a spoonbill at the end!! I would love to see one of those in person. I've seen Great Blue Herons before, but I still loved seeing that one in the video. I might be more excited about the birds than the alligators haha. But that was crazy to see 2 alligators with all those fish and the heron. What a cool experience!

[@NecramoniumVideo]

2:32 thats probably the prettiest looking culvert i have seen, just look how clear the water is and and the nice looking water plants.

[@countrygirl1006]

Welcome to my state,hope you enjoy your stay. We have alot of springs, in my city of Williston we have Blue springs and two others. Manatee springs in chiefland you can swim with the Manatees it's off of HWY 19/98. Closer to you is weeki wachee springs.Anyway hope you enjoy yourself,a fan and just an old woman from the South.❤😊

[@Thetimecapsuletx]

I learned a lot from Robbie at "Get Swamped". He goes on gater calls to capture them where people live. So many people walk their dogs along paths by lakes, to get into life and death struggles to get their dogs back from a gator but they never win. They can run short spurts and jump kinda. Robbie has a big pond full of the gaters he catches and some are trained to understand words. its really crazy!

[@brianmurphy2695]

That aligator is fishing there. Waits till fish come to him

[@ScottE-2]

Ah yes the one counter to beavers. Alligators. To them, they are the dragons in plain sight. They can break wood but they don't have it in them to face off against aquatic dragons. Great video dude.

[@allen_p]

Post10, I see a lot of alligators here in Texas. They can run very fast on land. People often get too close to the water and the gator can launch itself out of the water suddenly.

[@paulmiller7276]

Be careful Post don’t let a gator sneak up behind you at snack time!

Post! You got some really good footage, I know I’ve said this before but your camera is awesome! Thanks for the content my friend. You really bring the experience forward for the viewer and were able to connect with your video as a result! I live in Oklahoma but I’m from south Georgia, fishing was always fun growing up, because if we weren’t catching any fish we were enjoying the hunt in finding alligators. This video of yours turned very nostalgic for me. Thanks Post! Your content is amazing!

[@michelleparish7313]

Enjoy the vacation! I hope you're remembering to watch for all the different snakes. It's not just the venomous ones anymore, lots of constrictors out there now. Plenty big enough to constrict a Post 10 size person. Stay safe!

[@hevchip741]

I wonder if they hang around the culverts for an easy meal to get sucked through, or maybe because of the fresh water passing. That water is pristine. Great video, really like the submerged part, goes to show how you simply cant see much abouve the surface, all those little fish. Great to watch. Have a great visit down south.

yea likely croc. surprised he didn't walk through there. swamp puppies scare easy especially during the day. you'll end up kicking them by accident all the time if you go swimming in the canals and whatever else.

[@Robin-g7q5d]

Remember, gators can move at 90 miles per hour & 8 feet is not huge! Be careful!

[@MrMustangMan]

you are so wrong, it's not even funny......... On land, an alligator’s top speed in very short bursts can reach 30 miles per hour. When swimming, however, they’re a little slower-topping out at 20 miles per hour. This is still much faster than a human swimmer. We average at only 2 miles per hour.

[@NRZ-3Pi10]

Thanks post 10 for sharing this nice tour in the Everglades and all the other enter-/edutaining episodes throughout this year; and Merry Christmas to you! Though no classic `beaver dam unclogging´, it’s been very interesting to see different landscape (and who is in control of guarding culverts 😉 - say Hi to friendly gator 🐊). Quite amused about some distances mentioned here; e.g. 05:32 “it takes me an hour to drive down … both sides of the road … the entire area is flooded”. There’s small swamp (tiny gem with beaver family active there and one can also spot e.g. the common kingfisher sometimes) in my area which I’m able to pass on the gravel road going through within less than 5 mins with my bicycle 😂. Well, and considering you’ve been driving from Maine down to Florida while still staying within the US: on the globe, Maine US is bit more south compared to the Alps in Central Europe, whereas Florida US is approximately on same latitude as Egypt in North Africa (I took country which one would associate with the gators living there; the Nile 🐊crocodiles). Well, between Europe and Africa, there’s also this pond called `Mediterranean Sea´ (else would be lengthy tour around going via the Near East by car).

@@MrMustangMan In September 2023, a 13-foot-8.5-inch alligator was killed after a resident saw it latching onto human remains in a canal in the Tampa Bay area. Other recent alligator attacks in Florida include: February 2023 An 85-year-old woman was killed by a 10-foot alligator in Fort Pierce while walking her dog. The alligator grabbed her foot and dragged her into a pond. April 2023 The body of a 2-year-old boy named Taylen Mosley was found in the mouth of an alligator in Lake Maggiore in St. Petersburg. The Pinellas Medical Examiner confirmed that the cause of death was drowning.
