Would you swim across a lake with alligators for 1 million dollars?

The length is around 4 olympic sized swimming pool. you have to swim across once and back again and you get a million. if not for a million how much?

I’d say no but I’ve swam in sus bodies of water while living in Miami so I’m probably owed a few mil

Every time you swim in southern Florida and bring up alligators people say nooo there’s none in this water. I just don’t believe them

No

I'd probably kick their asses but it would be annoying and ruin my swim.

Gators apparently only attack humans if they feel threatened or are defending their young. There have only been 32 unprovoked fatal alligator attacks since 1948. Plus Most attacks are non-fatal and the injured party walks away.

So if you were just swimming to one end of this massive pool then back, you would PROBABLY be okay.

Not exactly an 'easy' million, but just about worth the risk if you didn't give much of a fuk.

so the basic challenge is to swim in any florida small lake? People do that every day. Chances of gator attack are incredibly low most of the year, just avoid mating season. (april-june)

This is standard for Floridians. I've been scuba diving in a lake with gators and scared one away when I was checking out the bottom of the lake.

They say the exact same shit about bears, sharks basically all dangerous animals including snakes.

I'm convinced animal lovers and those so-called experts are just trying to get people killed by lowering their guards especially with their statistics which are fake and gay. The girl who got both her arms ripped off by the croc attack in the other thread was probably convinced there was no risk too and look how that turned out for her..

Black bears wont attack you or bother with you. unless it is a very young adult male and too stupid to know humans are danger/curious. but most of all the attacks come when u get near a black bear mommas cubs, and often times that is by mistake on most peoples parts, but the mom dont care. if u ever see a black cub, quietly smoothly, and quickly get tf out of there bc the mom is very close by

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."
