My Worst Fear

What do you answer when asked the oh-so-popular question, "What is your worst fear in life?"

Well, my answer is exactly the same as my answer to "What is the worst way to die?"

.... Being eaten by an alligator.

No kidding folks, I actually I have nightmares sometimes. AND, truth be told, I've never had a desire to go to Florida because of their abnormally high alligator population. I've heard, they just hang out in large puddles on the side of the road. Why people live there is beyond me.

So what is so absolutely terrifying about alligators killing me, as opposed to, a more realistic scenario such as cougar? Because alligators are ruthless.... they drag you into the water and DROWN you. I didn't learn this until last year- how did I not know their killing methods? Now I know why I've been terrified of these reptiles all my life- I must have some horrible predator killing method intuition or something.

Anyways, the reason for this morbid post is because for the last year I've been searching on youtube for a video of this killing habit. I doubt that is healthy, but I can't help my curiosity either. Anyways- TODAY, I found it! Granted, its an animation, but it demonstrates the absurd and unnecessary cruelty involved. AND, the alligator kills a LION.



P.S. My second worst fear is being eaten by a boa constrictor... if they can eat hippos, as seen in another youtube video, then I am totally toast.
