Never insult an alligator until after you have crossed the river.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Don't taunt the alligator until after you've crossed the creek.
The best thing to do is just leave them alone. Alligators want to be away from you just as much as you want to be away from them.
Alligators and crocodiles are some of the most aggressive creatures on the planet - they'll take down a boat if you come up to their nest.
You know how only you can insult your own family? That's how I feel about Florida.
Crocodiles are really bold, and they do come up on land.
I am used to wrangling crocodiles.
I put a bullet into the back of the crocodile's neck just behind the head, thus killing it. If a crocodile is hit in any other part of its anatomy it disappears into the water and is irrecoverable.
I have tested my nerve by reaching a little too closely toward a lengthy alligator on the Gulf Coast and a saucer-sized tarantula in a Houston car park.
See you later, alligator. After a while, crocodile.
Well, I'm wrestling alligators.
