the other stupid stunt I did was lean over cage at one of those gator farms to get a close up picture an an African crocodile I could have slipped or that sucker could have jumped it was the most primeval beast I ever saw just evil in its eyes and I did get a great picture

That gator was well rested. They get tired quick, but when fresh are a force to be reckoned. That fellow got off easy. If you can walk up on one like that they lack fear. And not safe to be around.

10 foot gators fear nothing, ever. They naturally lose fear at about 4 feet. Literally nothing in nature can harm them after that.

Is it the reticulated python the snake that is Florida that chokes gators there ? It's the burmese python in the everglades. BUT, that ain't natural. Evolutionary wise they literally have no fear because they were/are top dog. And even a huge burm can take a 10' gator, that is the other way around.
