forcebwithu Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 How to survive an alligator attack -- or better yet, avoid one entirely A long article, but if you choose to ignore the best advice given in the headline "avoid one entirely"... • If you can escape on land, run away in a straight line. Experts debunk the advice to zig-zag. Gators can move really fast on land, but only in short bursts and distances before they tire out. • Try to cause a gag reflex by jamming any objects you can reach into the back of the alligator's mouth. • Sometimes a gator will reposition its prey in its mouth. With its jaw back open, that is your chance to escape. • "Alligators clamp down with powerful jaws, then twist and roll. If an alligator bites your arm, it may help to grab the alligator and roll with it to reduce tearing of the arm," according to advice from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. • Get immediate medical attention if bitten. Alligator bites often result in serious infection. All of this is specific to American alligators, Andrews emphasizes. Other crocodilian species in places such as Africa and Australia can be more aggressive. We're actually prey-sized for some of these, she said. Video of the guy featured in the article.
