Depending on where you live, an encounter with an alligator either makes for an uncanny nightmare scenario or just a regular Tuesday.
Because while these animals are rightly respected for their fearsome power, residents of states like Florida and Louisiana often attest that they can be a lot more curious about what humans are up to than you might expect.
But of course, it's hard to beat humans in the curiosity department so it's not so uncommon for the reverse to be true as humans gawk at the reptiles in their own swampy habitats.
And unfortunately, one video makes it clear that they're not always as careful about this as they should be.
Be advised that the video featured in this article contains explicit language.
