  1. He just bent the bars like it was the rubber bands that keep the giant bouncy balls in Walmart in the cage another average day in Florida

  2. Pretty weak fence….sure seemed like this was a made for TV moment especially with someone being conveniently off camera to help the gator through 🤔👍🏻😉

    1. It is all real including a Floridan helping him out. Look up stats on the alligator and you will understand their strength. Thats why you see old ladies getting eaten up by them although they see the same alligator in the pond and still walk right by it. Some people are used to them.

    2. @ursulabklyn_mia6148  …..i understand what you said but i have a hard time believing the guy was there just when the gator was trapped….how convenient and no matter how strong gators are this fence bent with such ease….gator didn’t force it from running thru he just calmly walked right through…..little sketchy if you asked me

  3. Incredible! According to a NY Post article, March 10, 2023, the ‘Godzilla gator’ was able to bend thru the aluminum fence. That would explain how the guy was able to pull the bands further apart thus allowing the reptile to complete its mission — gain access to a Florida golf course. Regardless, if the bite is estimated to be 10x that of a human bite, it’s strong enough for this feat!

  4. Sheeesh it went straight through that aluminum fence, gosh jolly me that beast is STRONG AS HELL

  5. The fence around my pool is just thin aluminum rails like this. I can bend them with my own hands too. But I have to give it to the gator to be smart enough to know he could do it!
