I was at the Aransas Wildlife Refuge with a bike club once. One of the members thought they could sneak up and touch the tip of an alligator's tail.
I have seen many documentaries and shows on alligators and crocodiles and none of them come close to actually being there.
That alligator flipped around so quick, I expected a sonic boom. The biker got away by the skin of his teeth. We all had a great laugh at his expense. And no, he did not get the satisfaction of touching the alligator.
I have touched many alligators in my lifetime ranging from very tiny and adorable to vary large and scary. I think the tiny ones they're super cute. I don't like the big ones I've only petted 2 and both times I felt really terrified.
