Alligator ready to strike dog at Huntington State Park - ShoutAboutCarolina.com

Did u see his jaws? They were huge! There where 2 alligators soaking in the last sun rays just feet from the main road inside Huntington State Park. People were walking by, some (like us) where taking pictures. Well as soon as the guy with his black lab stepped by the scene changed 180. One of the gators plunged in the waters and starting patrolling the shores and the other starting showing off!

In the end nothing "bad" happened. The dude with the dog took off and the gator resumed his nap.

Appreciate your observation, not so much your epithet.

Yes tupac4200 already pointed this out.

Thanks and have a great day!

[tupac4200]

he wasn't holding his mouth open to strike. he was cooling himself. if a gator is ready to strike that means you cant see him. not untill its too late anyway

Hi

I believe you're right. Just saw a documentary on Animal Planet...I didn't know it at the time :-)

Either way still quite a sight to see!

Thanks for setting things straight.

thanks! yes we were flabbergasted...there they were just feet from the main road and the busy traffic.

you know what they say "best things in life are free"

That's why I shoot them on sight but people complain oh poor alligator it didn't do anything to you if you pass by it and don't notice it then your probably gonna get eaten by it.

@themyth117 actually alligators r very calm he had his mouth open to let hot air escape so he could cool down,not to hurt u an alligator wont hurt humans unless completely starved,used to getting fed by humans ,or provoked,and these r the words of an 11 year old who studier her own alligator in the canal ( and i know i fell in the canal with him once and he swam away )

@BudzMcgr33n I was drunk when i posted that comment 9 months ago get over it.

[themyth117]

@XxComablackxX1937 Only if you send me yours :) I don't even think i was sober when I commented on this video btw.

@Sal30 the stupidest comment ive ever seen on pitbulls

[BudzMcgr33n]

@themyth117 Ignoramus.

[chrissxtr13]

it wuz just yawning plus the dog had no aggressive actions towards the alligater if so then the dog would have been barking and the gater would have been hissing

[XxComablackxX1937]

@themyth117

Well then why don't you send me your picture, an the area you live in an ill come n shoot you on sight just for minding your business, sounds like a public service to me. People know enough about Alligators/Crocodiles to observe there surroundings an be cautious. There opportunistic predator's that live in Lakes, Canals, Swim at your own risk.. Don't blame them 4 seeing an easy meal in there home an taking advantage. Human's r supposed to the smarter species but that's debatable

next time throw a hamburger into his mouth...

That gator should eat some pitbulls instead of eathing that dog. Pitbulls are baby and kid eaters so it would be good if that Alligator ate a pitbull instead of this dog.
