    Extremely brave girl. That’s the most dangerous animal on the planet and the gator’s just letting it ride her.

    This is “brave” until it goes wrong. Then it’s “stupid”. The border is narrow.

    All fun and games till the badboy starts spinning

    Like, I’m sure she knows this animal/grew up with it or something, but it’s still a predator

      So are dogs and cats. Everybody knows that floridians have domesticated every gator in their state and that it is perfectly safe to mess with them.

    I’m going to assume she knows more about gator behavior than us, but putting her hand near the side kinda sets 'em off.

    And it is a gator, not nearly as violent as a croc. OTOH, even though their behavior is well understood, those dumbasses can still be unpredictable.
