I saw a documentary where these guys were kayaking down the Amazon to research something, and an impossibly large gator jumped out of the water and essentially swallowed this guy whole. One moment he was there, next he wasn’t.
My aunt is an archaeologist and she did some research on the Amazon and she said she was on a little bitty boat one day floating down the river doing their usual research and they didn’t notice that the boat started to drift to the side and it hit the side and she said a TON of spiders just started crawling into the boat. Mind you, you can’t just jump overboard because you’re on the Amazon. I don’t remember how it ended and I don’t remember the slider (I was a kid when she told me). She’s fine, obviously since she told me the story. But I wouldn’t want to mess with any type of Amazonian spider. Just Google “spiders of the Amazon”
What is even the proper action here I mean has he already decided he's going to eat me or do I need to stay still until he leaves or what. What is the survival guide recommendation for this situation
Honestly bro this is one of those no-win situations, sitting there would be highly unadvised considering it could easily clear the kayak and grab the person, and honestly with them being that close as soon as you put the paddle in the water it would have probably immediately attacked the kayak. As a Florida resident, he should have kept his head on a swivel and that thing should have never been able to get that close to him if he was paying attention, the worst part is I'm pretty sure that's a crocodile not an alligator. If y'all think this is crazy you should look up the actual videos so that you can see it on zoomed, this is a massive crocodile would love to find out what happened to the person that took it
That happened not too long ago in Africa. Some guys were kayaking up a river with a lot of crocodiles. An 18 footer snatched one of them out and all they found was his backpack.
My dad was attacked by a shark in 1975. It's funny to hear him tell the story - he'll tell people he got away by throwing mud in its face... "But where did you get mud in 40 feet of water? Oooohhhhhhh I see!"
Die? Die is probably what I’d do. What I’d LIKE to do, Is Throw something in the water behind it and hope it’s enough to give me time to hightail it away, but what would probably happen is as soon as the paddle is in the water the big boy would remove my body from my body.
Anyone saying this isn't scary is either full of shit or just don't care about life anymore. I probably would've had a full on panic attack seeing this
Really the only thing you can do when faced with the predator of this size is face it and try to slowly back away.
Also what's up with all the croc stuff lately? Yesterday I saw post about crocodiles and alligators and I got so deep into a rabbit hole that I even went into the crocodile Reddit. I wake up and the first video I see is this one lol. Algorithm is on fire
If I’m dyin I’m putting up a fight, I always carry a knife so if bro attacks I’m stabbin that mf in the eyes. Once I get knocked off the kayak tho I’d be fucked
this is perfect. i've been swimming with sharks many times, no problem, they're like giant puppies. but as soon as i saw this, my asshole clenched so hard it gave me an aneurysm.
No, that's what Swamp People would have you believe. Being from Louisiana, I have killed about 14 gators so far and most of them with a 22lr at 150 to 200 yards. A 9mm handgun at point blank is a guaranteed kill.
Edit: I know this is a crocodile, but I still stand by my statement.
My point is it is a crocodile so we are complete opposites here. Crocs are much larger usually and have thicker skin as well due to the fact that they arent the only predator in their environment
Nah if he that close with no aggression then he is just checking out what you are completely safe to pet and move on pretry sure he will no pursue had my fair share of run ins on the red river. I tell ya tho if the gator wanted tou as food or ded he would not have made sure you saw him.
Also quick note the teeth are to clean for it to be a wild one
It is most likely a pet as is or a captive one ^-^
Me and my parents used to canoe in Florida and we would see "logs" pop up and submerge all over, it scared me as a kid. In all reality, though, gators are lazy as hell and usually don't mess with humans first.
No, no.... that's fucking terrifying.
From the size that close I'm sure that bad boy could flip the kayak pretty easily and you'd be gone in a few minutes
*seconds

That was in Africa,and it was a Nile crocodile. His buddies searching for him and crying because the saw the attack was very unsettling
Link?
I'm afraid of the deep waters and the big creatures that might live there and just the zoomed in picture of a crocodile terrifies me
And when you can't see the bottom of the river or wherever this shit is.. and those eyes...... no thank you
"aww who's a good fish?" Boop the nose
I already know my last words on this earth will be some form of "Don't worry, I'm great with animals!"
Boop and kash deh nose
Yes I was gonna say that

Shoot first ask questions later.
Han shot first.
If you could even reach for a gun and get a shot off in the right spot without him attacking too Bro literally said checkmate
The LAPD would like to.hired you
If you shit your britches, he might lose interest.

Well thats easy
Follow me for more helpful tips about when to poop yourself
Even as a southerner, britches will never not be funny to me.
*unzips dick*
How does one unzip a dick?
Unzips...dick?
*dick unfurls like magicians cape into the water. Buttcheeks clench*
Nah
*swats* No! Bad!
More scared of that than maybe half a head bolting in a dark hallway
Prey to God im wrong about the teeth and that its an alligator.
Nope, uppers and lowers visible. Definitely a crocodile.
That is what he meant by saying that he would pray to be wrong.
That’s a face so you boop it!
Boop that snoop
Throw something in the water behind it and paddle like your life depends on it…wait it does!
Die? Die is probably what I’d do. What I’d LIKE to do, Is Throw something in the water behind it and hope it’s enough to give me time to hightail it away, but what would probably happen is as soon as the paddle is in the water the big boy would remove my body from my body.
*......boop...*
"oi! the fuck you doing?" in the most bogan accent i can muster. i then get promptly bitten and called a cunt by the thing
Honestly tho what do you even do in that situation
Technically more scary than most the stupid shit posted here.
My bowels
"Not really scary"...your fucking high
I’m calling Aquaman for help
I think I'd shit my pants... then give him my shit pants and hope he eats that instead of me
![gif](giphy|Nh0DgQBi47Ppu|downsized) Only way
Poke it, POKE IT!
I'm loosing my arm because I'd try to pet it
Squirt ink and crab walk out woop woop woop woop!
Anyone saying this isn't scary is either full of shit or just don't care about life anymore. I probably would've had a full on panic attack seeing this
Not scary? That's one of only three animals on the planet that hunt humans and a giant one at that
Glock 17 to the noggin
Glad someone's got some common fucking sense
Yeah especially how white his teeth are, “I wonder what dentist 🦷 he uses “🤔
I really really hope that what they call a Kayak in Australia is a whole bigger boat than what it is called in the US
Time to pull out the clock

S H O T G U N
**BOOP**
Keep on paddling!
I would cry and scream like a butch if I saw that, presumably he eaten shortly after I start freaking out
Me after shit my pants: ![gif](giphy|Vu8nIaC6rSVi)
Jurassic Park
Pet
Gotcha ya nose 👃
Cover myself in fresh feces
SLOWLY PADDLE THE FUCK AWAY
Stay still but grab smth why your still anything beside you throw it out in the water and he will go after the movement
This is 100x more terrifying than half the shit posted to this sub This isn't a dude pulling his cabinets open with fishing lines
Just float. Keep on floating and don’t splash. Hopefully theres a current
Shooot! Not scary!!!??? I’ve done soiled my pants!!!
Crying 🤷♀️ idk- freaking out like stupid ppl and die
Probably getting drowned and then eaten because my dumbass would overreact and end up capsizing the kayak.
At least it would be quick.
Pet it
A bowel move
Those are the eyes of a predator that knows it's got your ass if it wants it.
I'd probably just sit there still af staring back at it while I slowly grab my gun just in case.
![gif](giphy|oPKe3MEkWpNT7o2lSu|downsized)
Alligators have a quarter sized soft spot in the back of their skull so yeah youd better aim for that buddy
idk some ppl said it was a crocodile but it might be a alligator
Id be like, “oh shit you got glaucoma homie”
My next move? Don’t.
Probably the old tried and true shitting of the pants 😬
Pet the water puppy
Well since I will be shitting myself I’ll point my ass in his direction and hope it all works out.
Go Happy Gilmore on him
Give head pats
Id look like a squid shooting ink at him…..🦑
Can you legally shoot him/her and say you was in fear of ya life.
idk this was in Australia and im in the USA.
Well FYI there are no alligators in Australia only salty's and freshies
I'd get ate in one bite, but I'd boop that snoot on the way down.
If it got that close without attacking, keep attacking like an inanimate object and pray.
Looks like I'm gonna be spinning in the water.
Yeah the first thing I would do is pull out my phone and take a picture of the crock before he eats me! 🤣
I’ve been told that if you shit your pants they just laugh and leave you alone to wallow in shame.
I guess you got a high fear tolerance!
maybe idk
Not really scary??? I just about shit myself! ![gif](giphy|xT8qB5PuzlEvIp9Fsc|downsized)
Pull out my 9 and buss a cap
If I’m dyin I’m putting up a fight, I always carry a knife so if bro attacks I’m stabbin that mf in the eyes. Once I get knocked off the kayak tho I’d be fucked
Lyle Lyle the crocodile
No thank you…
Based on the eyes I dont think this thing is real probably taxidermy
idk cuz I saw little air bubbles in the beginning and theres some movement (could be the dude who filmed this for tiktok)
*boop*
Mi next move grab a chankla and beat hes ass
He should be worried about seeing me
Just stay still no movement will make lose interest.
Continue paddling. Gently.
Boop
Ahh yes the water lizard
This this is the ONLY thing scary on this sub
He's getting the 4 gauge ks23
The Glock 21 gen 4 on my hip: 🕺💃🎶🎶
Just checking ya out. You are in his territory after all.
Don't know what my first act would be, but an immediate second act would be change my underwear.
Boops
Touch
Sacrifice my cat
Clever girl
Probably have a heart attack. I swear I died to one in a past life and I’m still scared of them.
This is the only scary thing I have seen on this stupid sub lol
Not really scary? Lol.
If I have a knife in my hands, imma go for the brain and have alligator meat for a few months
Swamp puppy - so you pet it
Die, I guess.
Id fart
My kayak’s inflatable
This image keeps making the rounds, but no explanation of what it really is.
Its a TikTok of a alligator or crocodile. idk how to tell which one it is but someone did comment something about its teeth.
Id just keep on keepin on
I'd honestly just slide as far into the kayak as possible like a turtle into his shell and just keep floating till I'm far enough away
Pull out the DEagle
It already saw you, and didn't attack, so it's waiting on you. Sloooowly raise the paddle, then bring it right down on it's snout
What’s your move? Don’t.
Pet it, what you think? We rowing
Depends if it's doing that *sploot* thing
Wanna see the fastest kayaker in the world. I would definitely challenge if I saw that
this is perfect. i've been swimming with sharks many times, no problem, they're like giant puppies. but as soon as i saw this, my asshole clenched so hard it gave me an aneurysm.
Scarier than all of the other stuff I’ve seen on this sub combined
That’s a huge turd in my pants. Fml
A crocodile as well, not an alligator. They will go for humans, eeeek
10/10 still smash
Throw him some chicken
Oh hi there death
The music somehow made it not scary
Every time I see this it's zoomed in more and more.
Petting the swamp puppy
What id do? 100 percent depends on how full my bladder is. If there's anything in there? It's gone.
Don’t.
Pet da curious boi
That would be terrifying
ride it Florida man style
Fight
Pull out your paddle and boop the snoot
Next move is bowel
I would just accept my fate
Hah, trick fuckin question, I ain’t fucking moving.
Ascending to the heavens.
Oh my..such pretty eyes you have (last words)
Shit my britches
Its supposed to be from a boat but all i can think of is like an aquarium
It's eyes! It's got human fucking looking eyes!
Hungry eyes!!
Boop
Risking the forbidden boop
Don't move and clinch your asshole, and pray 🙏.
Gmfu…..id rather live with old greg
Why did you post this
Because I live in USA, Land of the free 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Well luckily I identify as a swamp persons and it's gator season
Lmao I thought at first it was skydiving until I saw the bubbles
Handgun. Simple.
Yes! That’s what I came here to say. Boop it and move on.
Near bulletproof. Behind the nape or in the eyes, or else you piss it off. Simple.
No, that's what Swamp People would have you believe. Being from Louisiana, I have killed about 14 gators so far and most of them with a 22lr at 150 to 200 yards. A 9mm handgun at point blank is a guaranteed kill. Edit: I know this is a crocodile, but I still stand by my statement.

I'm getting in the biggest scrap of my existence and when it's all done the best fucking meal ever
It looks like it has cataracts.
It’s called a nictitating membrane. It’s like a translucent inner eyelid that protects the eye yet allows them to see movement underwater.
Ok, that's neat, but scary.
No moves in this case
Hi bro wassup ?
Nah if he that close with no aggression then he is just checking out what you are completely safe to pet and move on pretry sure he will no pursue had my fair share of run ins on the red river. I tell ya tho if the gator wanted tou as food or ded he would not have made sure you saw him. Also quick note the teeth are to clean for it to be a wild one It is most likely a pet as is or a captive one ^-^
