You've heard the warning before: If you're being chased on land by an alligator, run in a zig-zag. Of course, the average person should be capable of outrunning an alligator. Josh and Chuck take the opportunity to explore alligator safety anyway.
AI Summary
In this reptilian edition of Stuff You Should Know, Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating world of crocodiles and alligators, exploring everything from how to tell them apart to what really happens if you encounter one in the wild. They bust some popular myths about zigzag running patterns, share survival tips (including the terrifying "death roll"), and discuss why these ancient predators are actually more afraid of humans than we are of them. Plus, Chuck recounts his memorable camping trip in the Okefenokee Swamp where he woke up surrounded by alligator eyes.
