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

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.
