they won't just eat you; they grab you, pull you underwater, roll you like a blanket, then stick your dead body under a limb or rock and feast on your carcass for a few weeks

so, everything is going to be ok; if that's your jam

it's terrifying to me to consider buying property way way down south. I'd end up being the 0.0003% who gets eaten by a fricking gator.

I'd bet that an elderly person is much, much more likely to die of falling outside in those balmy -10F northern winters than they are of being attacked by a gator.

Don't forget, we've got crocodiles too and they're moving farther north each year.

Scariest gator I've seen:

Better chance of getting struck by lightning than getting attacked by a gator unless you invade their space especially when nesting. Same odds as being bitten by a shark.

It's pretty easy to not get eaten by a gator. We would swim in the canal in front of the camp all the time and there were several years when a gator lived in it. Don't feed it, don't frick with it, and scare it off if it gets too close.

Here is that entire video.

Spoken like someone who's never been struck by lighting while being attacked by a gator, ideally while on a bit of meth.

You can't call yourself a Floridian until you've had this experience.
