I’m headed to the Everglades to go play with 🐊 alligators. What should I do/see while I’m there?

Well first, you have to earn their trust. Alligators are very emotional and sensitive creatures. You know, most people don't prefer to be friends with them because they don't find them cute.. It makes them very sad. So you have to be gentle with them, and when they start killing you, you gotta pretend you're having fun so you don't hurt their feelings

[Charliefretz329]

Rule #1: always keep a slower person nearby in case Mr. Gator starts running

[Charliefretz329]

I respect gator feelings, I’ll push the slower person down to earn their trust

[SixOfClubs]

Lol hahahah. Run in zig-zags if you can, so it'll be stunned trying to catch you

[Charliefretz329]

Zig zags are highly recommended

[Jerre]

And won’t eat you as fast

[annabananna]

If a gator charges at you run zig zagged. Have fun playing Russian Roulette! I played that game with gators when I was a kid and came out ok. Good luck.

I hate to disappoint you, but you won't see any alligators there, they've been driven to almost complete extinction from all of the pollution and habitat destruction that's been done.

The only thing you'll see is plenty of trash and green water that smells of piss and shit, that's because the water is 50% piss, 49.9% shit, and 0.1% water

"The American alligator is a stunning example of a species that has fully recovered in large part due to protections provided by the Endangered Species Act." There are approximately 1,250,000 allgators in Florida and they are NOT listed as an endangered species. defenders.org/.../american-crocodile-and-alligator

Either you have a bizarre definiton of "extinction," are misinformed, or simply have a bias against Florida.

Dolphin 🐬 reserve. Probably have to reserve ticket. Government joint used to be able to swim with dolphins. I think marathon key…been a decade

[Charliefretz329]

Great idea!

[Guy13]

I got really good pictures from that facility adventure

Don’t follow the same route when walking alone around alligators. Most alligators stay in the same area, barely moving, that’s their thing. And if they are there they are watching. If they’re hungry and can expect you to come sauntering through some high grass at a certain time he may decide to choose you to chew on.

Bring some children and some honey.

[MrWolf]

Nice knowing you. Remember they fast and have strong grip.

Key West.

[SnowedIn]

The airboats. Do a ride on one of those.

[Charliefretz329]

Those are always fun

[Msputiton]

Why would you ever go there

[Charliefretz329]

It’s beautiful and all nature

[Charliefretz329]

Gators are safer than humans

[Msputiton]

As they eat you

[Charliefretz329]

I thought some people liked to get ate? 😏

[Msputiton]

🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

[LavLavLuv]

cuddle the gators

[Charliefretz329]

I will! 🤗🤗🥰🥰

[Dargil]

Play with the pythons, too.

[Jerre]

Avoid the alligators!

[Charliefretz329]

The alligators are the main event!

In the water, alligators can travel up to 20 mph. On land, they can get up to 35 mph over short distances. First thing you should do is buy a par of rocket-powered running shoes.

[Agape93]

Or befriend the gators and have them help you conquer Miami!

[Charliefretz329]

Running shoes check. Miami no thanks
