This bicyclist is bemoaning how people leave litter on the bike path, when suddenly he notices it's alive.

This video was filmed in a place called Shark Valley, Florida.

People assume that since I'm from Louisiana that I know all about alligators. The closest I've ever been to a wild gator is at my dad's old fishing hole. Looked and there was a big old gator sunning on the rocks a good 40 feet away. We saw it and turned around to go fishing some place else.

This guy on the bike gets MUCH closer than I would ever want to. Good Lord. Can you imagine. Being out for a ride on your bike when, oh look apex predator on the bike path.

Talk about stepping up your heart rate.
