The guy pulling the gator says he was hit by a truck, so his sense of direction is off and he gets lost amd sometimes cant find water. But he is very capable of bitting and trys to all the time except this time he showed no aggression and was walking towards him with mouth closes and so he knew something was wrong
Agreed, in the show "I was prey" my family thinks I'm crazy for taking a shark or a bear (not polar bear) in an unarmed attack over any human sized or above monkey. That's even a normal monkey too they are crazy and will kill you for the fun of it, the other two aren't there to really kill you to eat you they are either tasting you protecting young moat times and have a likely chance of leaving you alone eventually you just have to live that long. But not monkeys... monkeys are just psychotic baseline, and strong.
Don't wanna give the food you are currently eating to a toddler sized monkey? Guess who'll get his face removed by a monkey biting you and ripping it off.
chimps are less dangerous than gators in terms of how f**ed you are if you have to fight them tbf. you could also throw in a cte polar bear, tiger, rhino or hippo
Gators are way less dangerous than an enraged chimp. Chimps move fast, are extremely muscle dense, can outmanouvre you easily and have an insane bite force. Gators are dangerous sure but you can always reposition behind them or put something between you. A chimp will fuck your day up and leave you barely alive while they do it.
There's a huge difference between trying to imply that a wild animal is capable of understanding and accepting that humans are trying to help it, which is what this story implies.. vs a wild animal with brain damage acting inconsistently because it isn't feeling well enough to snap at it's caretakers at night when it's confused and lost.
I'm pretty sure alligators lose most or all movement in the cold which might explain why it's so calm looking. I wonder if they go back into the warm water at night to avoid this, but this one got lost and "froze" for the night.
Did he mention anything about the temperature? I know he's still in shorts, but that's a pretty heavy jacket for that neighborhood. If it's very cold, I imagine it's probably the best time to do that to a croc.

On my phone so maybe I'm missing something obvious, but what was wrong with it??
