I’ve filmed american alligators on many occasions over the last years but I can’t say these apex predators targeting humans, except when driven by hunger, curiosity or during the alligator mating season. The mating season is a particular dangerous time to venture into alligator territory for any creature. Their behavior changes dramatically, they become highly aggressive and won’t hesitate charging after any intruder, including humans. I’ve been chased by alligators during such filming on several occasions but without any serious consequences. It’s always a good idea to keep your senses on constant alert when entering alligator habitat. Also, please don’t forget that alligators do not just live in the swamps or large water areas. Adult alligators can be found even in narrow road side channels, hiding in their “Gator Holes” but sensing any movements in its vicinity. An alligator is a crocodilian in the genus Alligator of the family Alligatoridae. There are two living alligator species: the American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) and the Chinese Alligator (Alligator sinensis). Swimming with alligators was filmed by Heiko Kiera aka Ojatro in Florida in 2016.

That water looks so clear and clean that you could drink straight from it. The clear quality reminds me of saltwater.

[@ojatro]

Water looks clear when five foot or closer to the gators...

I'm glad you liked the video. It was indeed a lot of preparation and work needed to get those underwater shots. Thanks for watching.

Now that is a very unique way to film gators, very few people record them from below them! Now that was too cool! I love it! God bless all of y'all out!

[@ojatro]

Thanks! It's a lot of work to prepare the dive gear and camera for such underwater filming but was worth the hassle...

[@micheal0hantom976]

Спасибо!

[@alphagojira5647]

I hope you're okay there. The description says you've been chased by alligators. Also, the water is like a mirror at the ceiling.

[@ojatro]

Nothing really happened during the filming. Just one gator tried to bite my fin (out of curiosity). Thanks for watching!
