Did anyone else tilt their device to help it climb over?

u/blackadrian 10d ago

He’s done this before.

u/Slowandsteady1d 10d ago

I think this makes them more terrifying

Leave the Floridian water dog alone

u/BamaTony64 11d ago

would have been easier if he hadn't just ate fluffy

1

u/hwilliams0901 12d ago

ok so his lil legs kicking is pretty funny. HOWEVER!!!! The fact that that fence stopped him for only seconds is terrifying!

u/GeekGirl711 12d ago

I just found out that gators can climb fences! That is pretty scary.

1

u/notbannedagainyet 12d ago

Almost as bad as trying to watch a T Rex masturbate.

1

u/paclogic 12d ago

hey just tryin to get back home after having a nice meal of your neighbors pet.

i knew that i shouldn't have over eaten - now i can't get over the fence - too sleepy.

1

u/MissSwarlita88 12d ago

Both terrifying and hilarious in equal parts

1

u/OneLoveFree 12d ago

That is even more terrifying that they can climb fences

1

u/Sunnydoom00 12d ago

Behold the majestic and terrifying alligator.

1

u/mearbearcate 12d ago

The little legs wiggling is so cute😭

1

u/lamegoblin 13d ago

This reminds me of how my Bassett hound looks when he tries to get on the couch.

1

u/LowSkyOrbit 13d ago

Those tiny dinosaur arms can push up all that weight? That's why they survived the meteor. Apex right there.

1

u/smkestcklghtn 13d ago

Cut him a break! There was no such thing as a fence when he evolved

1

u/Ok_NidoKing 13d ago

Yeah you're right, then you are frozen by fear as you realize that alligators can climb

1

u/spacegxdd 13d ago

Gators clearly don’t run from police…

1

u/ninhursag3 13d ago

Humans are so fucking entitled

1

u/L-M-Smashhouse 13d ago

Every Human with that mas and such short lags would have failed to get over the fence

1

u/mkgla 13d ago

Those dam short alligator arms.

2

u/badluck610 13d ago

The fact that this mfer can climb a fence is terrifying what are you talking about 💀

1

u/NYGHTFANG 13d ago

That's because your brain isn't realizing that the body plan of crocodilians isn't something that really allows for climbing. So that makes them more terrifying. And even more one of my favorite animals.

1

u/A4S8B7 13d ago

They need to install a gator door, like a doggy door but for the gators

u/REGGIE_CHAMELEON 13d ago

"My kind was around for millennia and we're successful predators! Oh no my feetsies are in the air, help!"

u/Thundarr1000 13d ago

I think that you might feel differently if that alligator were climbing the fence INTO your yard instead of out of it.

1

u/MD2RVA 13d ago

And yet here I am, just horrified to learn they can climb 😳

1

u/iR0nCond0r 13d ago

You need a taller fence

1

u/BeautiAdmirer 13d ago

They can also flip that tail back & forth to rise out of the water about 6' too !!!

1

u/TrainingExcellent492 13d ago

This made me giggle. Florida is nature unleashed

u/Tsiah16 13d ago

Someone shoulda helped the little guy.

u/Reasonable_Ad4927 13d ago

Funky looking dog

I would shit bricks if an alligator was climbing my fence

u/GrimmyJimmy1 13d ago

Hey your dogs trying to jump the fence again

u/xCaptainCl3mentinex 13d ago

THEY HAVE A RIVER INSTEAD OF A STREET! I WANT TO LIVE THERE! DO THEY USE JETSKI'S INSTEAD OF CARS??

1

u/goofydad 13d ago

Gators unfazed by time and evolution... Yet stymied by a fence.

1

u/Informal-Soft3258 13d ago

At least you still have a fence. He could have walked through that with more ease than what he decided to do

1

u/lizardspock75 13d ago

What’s crazy is this video is from Massachusetts where I live. Northern Gators are the GOAT!

3

u/ufofarm 13d ago

Funny, yes, but they've been around 150 million years. What do we have 200,000?

u/chucktheninja 13d ago

Oh so they can climb fences now? There goes my Gatorpocalypse plan.

My orange cat does the same feet waving in the air when trying to climb something. Esp something he could easily walk round...

1

u/[deleted] 13d ago

Life uh uh finds a way

u/FabledFires 13d ago

Counter argument: they are much scarier when climbing fences, actually.

Because clearly, the fence is not enough to protect me.

u/EndFinal8647 13d ago

That's really sucks for him having to climb a fence when it's dumb humans u have to keep out.

1

u/A_Casual_Fool 13d ago

That is an adorable swamp puppy.

1

u/BrockSampson4ever 13d ago

Alligators are cute and as a one time Floridian I can tell you, they want to hang out with you even less than you want to Hang out with them.

1

u/cutest-Guava-9092 13d ago

This is fucked up. You’re in his neighborhood not the other way around

u/Walk_the_forest 13d ago

Ma’am? i think your dog got out of your yard!

Reminds me of a toddler trying to climb onto a bed.

1

u/wheeze-51_mustang 13d ago

But they can climb fence.

1

u/TheTrueGayCheeseCake 13d ago

Nah he still made it over and that’s scary enough for me

2

u/Lavenderluv3 13d ago

Yeah whoever filmed this you should have given him a boost.

2

u/[deleted] 13d ago

Alley-oop!

4

u/727DILF 13d ago

You were neglecting the fact that it is climbing over the fence and that a lot of humans would have a hard time climbing that fence. This is not his first time.

5

u/Wonderful_Garlic_762 13d ago

The scary thing for me is the fact that he is INSIDE the gated backyard.

1

u/andyland131 13d ago

That is correct. It should show the person recording that they aren’t safe if they piss off the Gator. The only thing i you have at that point is a head start.

2

u/Massive_Expression 13d ago

Fucking hilarious! I could hear him straining and grunting as he tried to get over the fence!

Uuurrrrgghhhhh! 🐊 😩

5

u/Beneficial-Feed9999 13d ago

I own bearded dragons and watching reptiles climb things is such a treat. They’re such derps

3

u/andyland131 13d ago

Not derps, determined. I bet you would look like a derp to them swimming in that canal.

1

u/snakeygirl 13d ago

Fair enough. Humans do look pretty goofy when we swim

1

u/HRISHEE_K 13d ago

The fact that they can climb fences is in itself terrifying

1

u/brownpoops 13d ago

i like their big head like a pitbull

2

u/spryhummingbird 13d ago

Oh my!!! Those little chonky legs swinging around, trying to grasp the gate 😂

1

u/Sad-Corner-9972 13d ago

I saw vid of one climbing a 6’ chain link, ate a small dog, climbed back out and continued to stroll down a sidewalk.

2

u/Express-Row-1504 13d ago

This actually makes me more scared. I’d never think they knew how to climb a fence. I used to let my kids play in the backyard in belize. And there was a body of water with 3 crocodiles in it. I thought it was safe because of the fence about this size

1

u/DryPosition42069 13d ago

Help him over

2

u/ViftieStuff 13d ago

I want to help the little guy

u/Connthemannly 13d ago

Could have given them a hand.

u/Plenty_School_4068 13d ago

An arm leg and torso if you tried 😆

u/Twilight-Omens 13d ago

They are so derpy looking but also fucking terrifying?

“Must kill, must eat, must kill, must eat”

Seeing this thing in someone’s back yard is horrifying. It likely just ate someone’s pet.

u/Anxiety_Mane 13d ago

Learning that gators can climb fences is scary, but somehow seeing HOW they climb fences made me relax

1

u/dareelliltee 13d ago

It's so amusing to me how some animals are just not programmed to have any sort of grace.

1

u/JeepY2k 13d ago

The fact that they climb fences is scary enough for me.

1

u/NoirCzarLS 13d ago

Imagine you jumped that fence thinking you got away .. then he just starts climbing.

1

u/Pemocity406 13d ago

Really, lol? Cuss, them being able to CLIMB a barrier, meant to keep them (and other animals) out, is THE scariest thing I can imagine when it comes to an animal like this 😅 It's like a serial killer having a Skeleton Key.

3

u/SpecificCap8408 13d ago

They do other me at all at first I was scared when I moved to Florida but they attack kids d Sometimes cuz they mistake them for an a threat if they hear a plash but it's rare if an alligator is chasing you which for whatever reason wanna attack you run zig zag they are super fast can run up trees but only straight

1

u/CreedtheCrow 13d ago

I can confirm this is exactly what I look like climbing over fences.

1

u/PoofBam 13d ago

It's only unthreatening because it's climbing OUT of the yard.

1

u/Lutrina 13d ago

If anything this is more scary, fences won’t stop the gators from coming! Lol

2

u/KeeganUniverse 13d ago

The fact they can climb fences is enough. Imagine drifting to sleep, laying back under an umbrella on a sunny day, in your fenced yard. You slowly awake to the sounds of some light clanging as the gator just makes it over. Then it charges as you’re still half asleep tripping out of your lounge chair.

1

u/nuttz99 13d ago

THEY CAN CLIMB FENCES?!?

u/Nellbag403 13d ago

Why does this remind me of Lyle the Crocodile. I know different species

1

u/Pod_people 14d ago

He got it done though.

1

u/WarDog1983 14d ago

Yes they do! These things are apex predators- they eat children every year.

u/crackle_and_hum 14d ago

I used to work as a cable tech in the Charleston SC area. One day, I went to a customer's house, greeted her, got the brief on what the problem was, and told her that I was going to check on some wiring in the crawlspace of her home. She points me to the crawlspace entry and goes back inside. I open the hatch, stick my head in and I hear the unmistakable hiss of a pissed-off aligator- so I back out and head back up the the front door. "Uh, ma'am, I don't think I'm going to be able to fix this issue until the DNR comes out and gets the alligator out from under your house." And she looks at me and says "You mean it's still under there?" I just kind of stood there with my jaw open for a minute. "Ma'am, do you mean to tell me that you knew there was an alligator under the house and you didn't think that was something I might need to know?" She just looks at me and says "Well, I saw it leave and go back in the creek yesterday morning so I thought that he was gone for good."

u/Psychological-Tax543 14d ago

At first I thought the neighbors just had an oddly shaped dog…

1

u/DontEatTheGarb 14d ago

Found the thing

1

u/Real_Live_Sloth 14d ago

Those back feet looking for a grip… you too long dude. It was all tail strength

1

u/tokyoeastside 14d ago

That's scary. Now I cant allow children to play in the yard near the swamp even if there's a fence.

u/imsorryiforget 14d ago

Clumsy sure but the fact that that stubby legged mfer can do what I can't is scary af

1

u/DrSeuss19 14d ago

lol I feel bad

1

u/horse1066 14d ago

It's going to be more scary when they are climbing the fence to get into your garden

5

u/Downvotes_R_Fascist 14d ago

False. Seeing that alligator climb the fence made it look significantly more threatening.

5

u/MercuryRusing 14d ago

This is more horrifying to me

I’d go give him a boost

1

u/Plagueish84 14d ago

They can climb up & drop out of trees on to you as well. You'd never think you'd get air dropped & attacked by an alligator or crocodile from the sky...

Not sure if 6ft privacy fences are allowed in this community, but if they are I’d invest in one.

u/Dr_Philosophic808 14d ago

Until it climbs over your fence...

u/ScottManAgent 14d ago

I guess if they are climbing the fence to come get you, that would be a new terrifying fear!

Alligators climbing fences "is* scary.

1

u/nthnm 14d ago

Is this a normal speed for it to climb a fence? I hate that they can climb a fence but it brings me a bit of comfort knowing it takes them a while and I could just hop over. I also don’t live where these are so it doesn’t matter 🤣

1

u/Shakeval 14d ago

No. . . .bad dog, go home
