Description
here I am park very close to where the Mother gator is. In the lower image shows the shadow of my truck to show you how close the gator is ;who is protection her eggs so she will charge. She is just left of the big bush in the weeds. it be hard to see her.
To my shock this car drives up and these girls get out and get right next to my truck. They have no wheres to run if the mother gator comes out after them. I just can not believe it. I took the photo on top with the two girls are to show you how they look. I could not turn too good and get a good shot sho I shot it off the mirror of my truck. I try to tell them the dangers but they just look t me as if I some dumb hick.
sharky_ been posting some stuff of dangers on his volcanos shots which is wonderful. Please check out his gallery too so you too will be a better and safer person. I been shooting shots of what people do this is danger but they act like it nothing. So I going to post them now this week. Some is just plain dumb

you can see in my round mirror how they are right up against my truck
Whoo! Looks like you took their pic from inside your truck. Prudent. My wife was the same way about bears in Yellowstone, back before they fenced off garbage dumps. "Cute," she said.
Fantastic .........
yes I in my truck but I know those gators can go around 40 mph in one second it looks like. And they have big teeth too; plus it looks like i just 10 feet from her
Great result on the first one! Superb lighting and captures :)
oh I can not run fast also
Hello my dear friend Jocko; Really it is a wonderful photography, is noted that the work is excellent, a real luxury for the soul to see this beauty Me turns out to be very difficult to express in English, I speak Spanish, and thank you very much for your commentaries and favorites. A million stars of my part *************************** Happy Tuesday and Embrace and kiss in your heart. Luminous Blessings. Ludy
great foto, I hope you could convince this girls it was safer to have a beer with you then stay close to that crocodile invested pond. ;)
Hey, Jock...maybe the two girls are 'tourists.'...LOL
Nice comparison shots and narrative to explain. Some folks just don't realize how dangerous these creatures can be. At least you tried to warn them.
I'm glad you're smart enough to stay in your truck! Great shots!
Great shot for a dangerous story...EXCELLENT picture with the two girls on the mirror with an other image of a mirror with always the two gils smaller !!! EXCELLENT JOCKO !!!
Just dumb little teenagers. Would have loved to hear the gater charged them. Great story and photos.
I have a great respect for wild creatures - domestic ones as well. Anything and everything bites under the right circumstances - even our own children. Great shots, Jock, and I wish more people listened to sage advice.
To quote Forrest Gump Stupid is as stupid does Super shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool shot Jock! I'm glad the girls did not get eaten by the Gator, dumb as they are & all! ;)
Whoa! Some people's kids, huh?
People are bulletproof is one of the urban myths. In the country everything is a myth.
They should've taken your advice. I've seen the same thing out west except the animal was a moose with a calf. Trust me, you can't run fast enough.
Excellent!
Excellent captures, considering the conditions, Jock! Young people have always felt immortal and that nothing can hurt them. They watch too many Superman/superhero movies, perhaps. I read something a long time ago that said when running from an alligator, never run in a straight line but weave from side to side, because the reptile can't change direction as effectively as a human. Of course, I've never been in that situation so I can't swear to it.
Wow! Fantastic work, beautiful swamp, and stupid girls. Good thing nothing upset the mama. Cause everybody knows, if mama ain't happy, nobody's happy. Very clever to shoot them off the mirror.
well when one or both end up as gator food, then they will still not learn. people that are foolish never change.I bet they would be climbing your truck if she started moving.superb idea for capture and dedication to Errol
there seems to be no end to dumb
I know exactly what you mean. You try to tell someone of the danger exist before them and they get more curious, closer they go. I've seen those gators on TV lunging towards their prey......super fast. Hope nothing happens to them. Excellent job and great idea shooting thru the mirror. Aloha
Yeah, they'll be the ones who get bitten and then sue the town for dangerous conditions! Or end up on TV giving interviews... I call it cleaning the gene pool! Great shots!
some people.........just not too smart!!!
NICE CAPTURE :)
You did very nice pic! Very well done! 5
… a beautiful “fodder” for the mother alligator and their children! Like always an interesting “view”
