Up to my Ass in Alligators!

You got some fantastic gator footage! This was really wonderful to enjoy. Silver Springs looks like an amazing place to gator watch. I really liked the underwater footage. It is always interesting to see them enjoying the Florida sunshine. As you said, there are gators everywhere in Florida. You get used to the fact that they are always around. Thank you so much for sharing. With all this snow, I keep thinking about how nice it would be to get back to Florida. I hope that you can there soon. Have a great weekend. my friend.😊✨🐊

@@purelysounds1 Thank you! It’s an awesome place with a rich history. I dedicated this one to gators because they’re just fascinating creatures and mostly misunderstood. The park that day also had tons of manatees, even some newborns, plus several wild monkeys in the trees. All that wildlife in an urban setting. Kind of weird. The weather up north this time of year definitely makes us yearn for Florida too! We intend on going in February or March. I hope you have a great weekend, my friend! 🐊☺️

@@dronebastard1049 This was a fantastic video. You got some really incredible footage of the gators. Florida is such an amazing State. I just wish that the storms were not so harsh on everyone. Today, I was working cleaning up a tree that fell on our neighbors property that took out their power line. The weather has been insane this year. The snow is beautiful, but it is too deep. Thank you for the great weekend wishes. I hope that you have a fantastic weekend too, my friend. 😊✨❄

@ Oh, no! Sorry to hear that. We have quite the love/hate relationship with Mother Nature. She can be both beautiful and treacherous. I too wish the storms were so harsh. I hope your neighbor is back on their feet real soon and the winter calms down for you guys. Thanks for all your support. I hope you have an amazing Sunday and week!

Holy Moly 😳🤯 DB. I thought, okay, as long as he's in a steel boat, he's relatively safe...and then I saw people in CANOEs 😲😧. Please tell me you weren't in one of those, surrounded by Gators 👀🙏 Fantastic images though...👌

[@dronebastard1049]

Thanks! Yeah, we were in our tandem kayak. It's not as bad as it looks, though. Gators can definitely be aggressive but they're usually not interested in people. They're not as bad as their crocodile cousins. Gators rarely attack people, but it does happen. We'll swim in just about any spring in Florida, but this one... eh, we just stay in the boat! It's not permitted in the park, but folks swim downstream, but I ain't gettin' in that river! My friends still think we're crazy! 😆😆🥴😵🤔

@dronebastard1049 Swim with Alligators???? 🙀🙊. I'm glad you both stayed in the boat. Suddenly a Kayak seems like the safe option 🤣 Fabulous place though, the sights above and below water are stunning 👌

¡Ay, caramba!

ha!

HOW are there so many people just casually rowing canoes while in the presence of these prehistoric type animals?!

[@dronebastard1049]

Great question! Honestly, they're not too interested in people. They're pretty lazy during the day spending most of their time soaking up the Florida sun and hunt at night. I wouldn't want to be in the water with one, that's for sure!
