Alligator saw he had back up. 😂

The title should be _"Alligator escapes ambush by five birds"_

This is hilarious... The crane thinks it started down an alligator... Except, it doesn't realize the alligator is looking behind it, staring at three geese who came along, before it runs for it's life. You can almost hear the words in the air... "Do you feel lucky, punk...?". I remember when they flew down to the mall, every winter. Then, we had a really long cold spell everywhere... So they stayed, and now they're all over... Think they are Egyptian geese, from the black dot on their chests, but could be wrong. Every now and then, they fly off the roof of the mall to land in front of a car parked in front of an entrance, honk at it in challenge, wings raised, and then fly back on the roof, secure in their victory and dominance over the trespasser in their domain.

I had one of these drop into my backyard one day as I was laying in my hammock. Must admit it startled me by his height.

Crane: First the snowbirds ran me out of my home, no gator, you're gonna have to share this lake with me!

[@lillianflorence6056]

Hope all birds ok

[@larrygreenlee6194]

Mr. miyagi taught this! First, avoid ambush, then stare until opponents surrenders from boredom!

[@Annyeonghigaseyo]

Florida is nice except alligators😂

[@cainster]

Canada geese: "Nah, you got this, bro."

[@marcbobson]

We used to have a baby pet alligator. My dad made me floss him daily, pretty disgusting and took forever.

[@DC-Deezy]

The birds let him know they can refuse service to anyone 😂.

[@sunsets2024]

The stare down sometimes works! 😮

[@walkerenterprise1764]

He didn't surrender, he smelt junior walking in his living room.

[@ghostjason401]

[@ted__ryan]

Very woke

[@neggylydejesus2766]

The most scary part is that pond surrounded by those houses, probably with children and elderly people living near a pond with what it seems to be a young, hungry and agile alligator… perhaps more!? Its nerve-racking!

[@jesschavez1028]

This is Florida man. Every lake, pond, body of water has a gator. We can’t remove them all lol. This one is way too small to hurt anyone anyways
