Brave Man Swims Into Gator-Infested Water to Rescue an Alligator Who Is Way Too Friendly

A man in camouflage kneels near an alligator on grass, while two onlookers stand in the background.

Paul Bedard of the Gator Boys slips into the water solo to rescue an overly friendly alligator. When a wild animal gets used to being fed by humans, things can get very dangerous.

The most dangerous kind of wild animal is the one that has become comfortable around humans. Because of their close contact with people, the chances that the animal will attack a human is greatly increased.

That is why this particular episode of Gator Boys is so difficult, as the clients have gotten in the habit of feeding the alligator out behind their home. Paul Bedard heads out on a solo rescue mission to retrieve the animal before any people, or the gator itself, get hurt.
