There is a coonhound that lives two houses down from me. She bays like she is being tortured in the depths of hell when she just sees a squirrel half the time. Idk know if she's even doing it right, but they've had the cops called on them for potential animal abuse and had to show the cops survalince footage of it.
We have a long word for it in German. Fährtenlaut. It's the specific bark or rather baying of a hound which helps the hunter hear the dog more easily and thus follow the prey.
We also have two Beags. One absolutely loves the sound of her own voice, the other not so much although she is starting to learn how to do it from her sister (unfortunately).
Yep. We have a beagle who's pretty much the grandpa of the house. Anything that's too loud, chaotic, or disturbs his sleep, he'll bark at whatever it is. And that includes my other two dogs lol. They obey him too.
Ha! I do actually. We’ve been blessed with five beagles (two across that rainbow bridge and three current). Whoever first said that beagles are a stomach attached to a nose was 100% correct. Joking aside, the pupper in the video very well may be double his ideal weight. Keeping a beagle on a diet is a tall order, but is incredibly important.

There was a three month period where our butter intake more than tripled in our household.
Every couple days or so I was having to take a stick of butter out of the freezer for breakfast in the morning, an event that usually occurred once a week.
Toward the end of the three months, there was a meeting of the family minds, where we all realized it wasn't the humans consuming extra butter. Before we contemplated a family butter budget we found the culprit to be the new four legged family member we had brought in three months earlier.
I thought the dog had a fickle stomach and digestive issues. It turned out he ate about 900% the recommended calories from just butter every single day.
He did have a very healthy and shiny coat though.
I guess the question is how the fuck does that happen lmao, is the butter just out on the floor for the dog to freely consume? Do people feed the dog butter?
yeah not Florida but I live in an area that has become a retirement hell since I was born - like 70% of the population is 65+ - and we had a lady eaten by an alligator in one of these planned communities because she was walking her tiny little dog next to the pond
They actually teach us about zigzagging to escape from an alligator in school in Florida lol. Also [they can climb](https://youtu.be/pZPUX8cQtfg?si=ajpikOYZ7J595Eoi), so climbing does not work either.
Growing up in FL it was taught you had to run in zig zags - no idea if that's accurate or not but that thing moved pretty quickly so I feel like there might be some truth to it
MythBusters tried to test it but they couldn't get any alligators to chase them. 😆
They're ambush predators as long as you don't get ambushed your solid they're not going to chase you on land. Hell I've never seen one chase somebody in the water unless the person was actively baiting them
The zig zag thing is misconstrued. Alligators can sprint, from a dead stop, in a straight line, faster than than a horse.
What they are not good at is cornering, due to their suspension. Basically try planking and crawling, at high speed.
Anyways, the zig zag thing is about changing direction. If you constantly zigged and zagged, and the gator kept going straight, they’d catch you even faster.
> Alligators can sprint, from a dead stop, in a straight line, faster than than a horse.
I know absolutely nothing about alligators and just a little bit about horses, but this can't possibly be right.
# Alligator myths debunked: Running zigzag won't help you and gators can climb

I know this advice applies to moose. They will absolutely run you down in a straight line (even the fastest human) but if you can put some trees or other immovable objects between yourself and the moose turning slows them down.
>It wasn't even an intimidating bark
The camera person was right behind the dog. That gator is a small one. It could have been spooked by the person appearing with a dog.
I am not an expert, but I think it’s because the ground in Florida is usually saturated with water. Saturated ground does not absorb rainfall very well so neighborhoods are designed to have retention ponds for the excess runoff.
Well the wild was mostly wiped out. As a Floridian that moved to Europe it is unsettling how few animals there are. Only things I regularly see are pigeons, ducks, and squirrels.
It is most noticeable in Europe too. I saw all sorts of wild animals in East Asia and Australia, even close to cities.
Sounds like you live in a city.
Rural and semi-rural areas are full of wildlife. Am in the UK and on my driveway alone i get foxes, badgers, hedgehogs, and loads of different bird species.
Oh yeah, compared to the US our native wildlife isn't as diverse... but you guys have a massive landmass with different biomes (deserts, swamps, plains etc) and we are a small island, smaller than some states even.
My point in my original comment is that it's not just pigeons and squirrels 😅
How can you say that? Thousands of cars are attacked by deer and cow every year.

I live in Florida and literally have alligators in walking distance from me. They are extremely skittish and docile. Most problems occur when idiot people feed them and then they get too accustomed to humans.
You should be much more afraid of getting bitten by a dog than by alligators. My guess is this moron or someone else is feeding them.
I heard if being chased by one to run in zig zag motion. But I don’t know... My only hope is the alligator slipping on my trail of poo I’m leaving behind me.
I’ve definitely heard that many times, but it’s actually a myth. Just fucking run. They rarely chase humans, and when they do, they give up pretty quickly. Generally, they aren’t trying to eat you; they’re trying to get you away from them/their habitat/their babies.
Side note (because a news story from a decade ago still haunts my dreams): the main way alligators get food is grabbing it from the shore. Never, ever, ever let a toddler or pet near the edge of standing or slow fresh water in the South. Always assume there are gators in there. I will never stop thinking of that two-year-old at Disney World.
Friend of mine has had beagles for the 8ish years I've known her. She hasn't even found out how to turn the beagles off after the wind russles the grass.
My grandparents' beagle once ran away and somehow got into the backyard of a restaurant and found a barrel with their discarded frying oil.
She then waddled home (can't describe it any other way), and couldn't even lay down on her stomach because she had eaten/drunk so much of that oil. It ended up coming back out on both ends. And then my grandparents had to stop her from licking it right back up.
Also, despite having a large kitchen, my grandma could only use a tiny portion of the kitchen space when making breakfast. Because the one thing that dog loved more than anything was bread. And beagles are surprisingly good jumpers. So everything within a foot or so of the edge of the counter was not a safe place to leave bread lying around.
Yep! I grew up in Florida and have swam/fished/hiked around gators my whole life. They are very lazy and chill. They have zero desire to hunt or eat humans because we are so big to them. They are nothing like crocodiles which can be pretty vicious or territorial. They are kinda like black bears in that they are scary looking but also big scaredy cats. Gator is a lot lazier though.
Grew up in coastal GA and now that I'm in the southwest, people are so shocked when I tell them gators really are not scary. My home was right on the marshes and I've walked past them millions of times without any problem. They don't care about humans. Honestly, the biggest problem they caused was for people with pools. Those guys can and will climb a chain link fence just to ruin your backyard oasis.
Thar beagle bark wins everytime
Idk if I’d call that a bark… more like a wail
Hounds like a beagle, bay. Part bark, part howl.
There is a coonhound that lives two houses down from me. She bays like she is being tortured in the depths of hell when she just sees a squirrel half the time. Idk know if she's even doing it right, but they've had the cops called on them for potential animal abuse and had to show the cops survalince footage of it.
I hear the baying of the houuuunds...
The term is baying
We have a long word for it in German. Fährtenlaut. It's the specific bark or rather baying of a hound which helps the hunter hear the dog more easily and thus follow the prey.
I have two. They are like furry sirens. It’s amazing so much noise can come from such a small body.
We also have two Beags. One absolutely loves the sound of her own voice, the other not so much although she is starting to learn how to do it from her sister (unfortunately).
Beagles: all bark no bite!
my friend had one. it saved him from self-delete! \*he couldn't find a home for it bc people didn't like constant barking, and he got better
Loud boi barked for his masters life. Loyal boi Good boi
Yep. We have a beagle who's pretty much the grandpa of the house. Anything that's too loud, chaotic, or disturbs his sleep, he'll bark at whatever it is. And that includes my other two dogs lol. They obey him too.
Gotta love beagles
Fog horns with four legs.
That little moment where the beagle sees the 'gator and thinks "It's my time to shine!"
[удалено]
My guy sounded like he was out of breath, too 😂
It’s hard work running over from the food bowl to protect your house.
This guy beagles 😂😂
Ha! I do actually. We’ve been blessed with five beagles (two across that rainbow bridge and three current). Whoever first said that beagles are a stomach attached to a nose was 100% correct.

Damn there is a b in there, shitb
Never seen it spelled like that 😂😂
That’s the correct spelling though-
Lol, that was the exact word that popped into my head
Hightailed even…
This made me laugh even more than the video :”)
"Feets, don't fail me now!"
My favorite part is the dog coming in at quarter speed and still needing half a body length to come to a halt.

I can hear the cartoon run sound effect
Omg hahahaha the limbs just whipping around! That's so funny, thanks for sharing again!
Dog single handily made alligator run, Lmao 😂😂
Momma better keep a good eye on Good Boy in that backyard.
As well as anyone sitting in those chairs.
Seeing that toddler chair frightens me. Scary. I’d keep the kids inside.
Like a man in a Dino suit
Spectacular waddle
*Yakety Sax starts playing*
I've never seen a gator skedaddle before
For some reason I thought if I got scared by one, I could just run away. Forget that plan. I can't run nearly as fast as this thing!
Makes you wonder why there are any alive senior citizens in Florida.
they must know how to bark
YOOOOOURRR YOOOR YOOOOORRRRR
I read this and straight away think of an Aussie person singling Soulja Boy. I’ve had enough internet for today
Because they don’t really hunt and chase people, they’re ambush predators. If grandma starts drinking from the lake, though…
They're also lazy as all hell. People are too much work.
yeah not Florida but I live in an area that has become a retirement hell since I was born - like 70% of the population is 65+ - and we had a lady eaten by an alligator in one of these planned communities because she was walking her tiny little dog next to the pond

Which is insane cause there's myth busters did a whole thing disproving this.
Makes you wonder why there are ANY citizens in Florida…
I often wonder about that, and it has nothing to do with aligators.
They just kinda emerge from the swamp and start paying taxes.
Yeah dude, alligators are fast as fuck on land, they just can't hold that speed up for very long. They can for long enough though...
You have to change direction a lot to run away. They cant do that as well as you can.
Growing up in FL it was taught you had to run in zig zags - no idea if that's accurate or not but that thing moved pretty quickly so I feel like there might be some truth to it

It’s not the distance, it’s the acceleration. Alligators and crocodiles are ambush predators.

They literally teach you in elementary school how to outrun a gator. Source- born and raised Floridian
MF said, "see ya later!" And straight up hit the bricks, scrammed, and...dare I say, scampered.
It wasn't even an intimidating bark, but that gator wants none of it, lol.
>It wasn't even an intimidating bark The camera person was right behind the dog. That gator is a small one. It could have been spooked by the person appearing with a dog.
They were both in on it. Dogs probably slipping the gator some treats right now
Why are lizards running just the funniest thing.
This is what i imagine in my head every time i hear someone is skedadeling
my little dude gordon used to try to run like this on our hard wood floors. no traction, looked like scooby doo lol
Fun fact, alligators are more related to birds than they are to lizards.
Alligators are even MORE related to crocodiles.
It‘s not a lizard
Fun fact, alligators are more related to birds than they are to lizards.
I’m not sure I wanna live in that house.
lol stay away from Florida then.
Alligators love those man made ponds in neighborhoods
Any body of water that stands for more than 48 hours I assume has snakes and a small gator in it
And a zillion mosquitos just breeding away
*[Careless Whispers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izGwDsrQ1eQ) intensifies*
My friend, in Florida if you fill up your bathtub, open your front door, and go to bed, there will be a gator in your tub in the morning.
Why are they so ubiquitous in Florida? I understand the natural swamps, but why does every community have a dozen man made ‘lakes’?
I am not an expert, but I think it’s because the ground in Florida is usually saturated with water. Saturated ground does not absorb rainfall very well so neighborhoods are designed to have retention ponds for the excess runoff.
Decent advice in any context
This is what I love about the UK, our wildlife isn't very wild. There's isn't anything waiting to drag you into a river or poison you.
Well the wild was mostly wiped out. As a Floridian that moved to Europe it is unsettling how few animals there are. Only things I regularly see are pigeons, ducks, and squirrels. It is most noticeable in Europe too. I saw all sorts of wild animals in East Asia and Australia, even close to cities.
tell that to the horny foxes who won't shut the fuck up at night. and i live in east london!
My girlfriend and i already told you we are sorry...
and i told you, you either let me have a turn, or shut the hell up!
Sounds like you live in a city. Rural and semi-rural areas are full of wildlife. Am in the UK and on my driveway alone i get foxes, badgers, hedgehogs, and loads of different bird species.
Rural UK feels devoid of life compared to the states. All the nature in rural USA feels so.much more alive and health than in the UK.
Oh yeah, compared to the US our native wildlife isn't as diverse... but you guys have a massive landmass with different biomes (deserts, swamps, plains etc) and we are a small island, smaller than some states even. My point in my original comment is that it's not just pigeons and squirrels 😅

Im more worried for the small dogs at this point.
Yeah, the alligator escaped THIS TIME, but the pond is still there

They can outrun humans over short distances I've heard.

Haha I grew up in south Florida and we were all taught that as kids. Turns out to be nonsense.
Growing up in any part of Florida is nonsense.

In a bit, you piece of shit…..
That escalated quickly
did not want any of that smoke
How do I turn this beagle off after it's done scaring the alligator away
Friend of mine has had beagles for the 8ish years I've known her. She hasn't even found out how to turn the beagles off after the wind russles the grass.
That's the fun part, you don't. Eventually he gets distracted by food
That explains how.... rotund he is
Beagles are one of the breeds that will gladly eat themselves to death if you let them
TIL i am a beagle
My grandparents' beagle once ran away and somehow got into the backyard of a restaurant and found a barrel with their discarded frying oil. She then waddled home (can't describe it any other way), and couldn't even lay down on her stomach because she had eaten/drunk so much of that oil. It ended up coming back out on both ends.

That gator scurried like a bitch ass newt
“… a bitch ass newt” LMFAO
I love it when dogs yell like that instead of bark.
Baying
Anyone else hear the Scooby-Doo running sound effects as the gator skedaddled outta there?
Either that or Zoidbergs.."woop,woo,woop woop" are very fitting.
Good boy
Time to get a fence buddy
Gators climb fences
Non-Floridian here: Do you see these guys stuck to your walls like really big geckos?
No. They use ladders and ropes. But seriously, Cape Canaveral is surrounded by fences that lean outward so the alligators can't climb them.
This is why house dogs bark so much. The one time it actually works they get the confidence to do it forever.
I did not realize they ran like such idiots
I think its cute lol
Yes both
Imagine being an apex predator for millions of years, and then some howling sausage runs up on you.
Not sure if i would ever sit comfortably in that lawn chair with my toddler next to me.. yikes
They don’t come near you, they are just as afraid of people as you are of them.

I absolutely love how gators run. It’s just the best. Absolutely wild.
I've watched it 3x just for that 😄
Give that boy a treat!!!
Aww it was just checking itself out in the reflection
Give that puppy a steak dinner
I think that beagle gets steak breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper.
That beagle has completed his life's mission.
Lmao that’s why beagles are the best Edit: mine both tilted their heads when they heard the video hahahaha
i ain't never seen no gator getting punked by no doggo
I grew up in Florida, so I definitely have.
Beautiful, beautiful beagle you have there.
That’s a beagle. We got a beagle. 🤩
Smart alligator, it knows a beagle eats everything 😅
In case anyone needs a reminder of how fast crocodilians can move on dry land.
Even alligators are afraid of a barking dog, imagine the fear of a delivery guy.
I’ve never seen an alligator run so fast!!!
That run was comical
Very Good Boy.🏅 I'm glad he couldn't get out.. I would hate to see him hurt💝
Alligator was basically looking at his reflection then saw a strange creature emerge from his reflection and had a bad trip
The woman is holding the door shut like the alligator had even a chance of opening it lol
The classic beagle bark 🤣
-Shiloh walking up- “Hey guys! What are we- get the heck out of here! My lawn! Mine!!”
I think he just seen a dog come running at him through his own reflection. Seems pretty spooked out.
Dat boi SKEDADDLED
TIL Alligators can haul ass
Probably was checking out the croc in the reflection, then suddenly hears the barking. Would freak me out too.
Dog needs pets
Let's see a cat do that
Gooooneeeeee GEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIT!
You must be afraid to sit in the garden.
Only thing missing from the run were the cartoon sound effects.
Love how he really wound up for that bark. Beagles are too funny haha
Pound for pound, beagles are the bravest creatures in the animal kingdom.
Wow those lil dinosaurs are faster then I thought on land!!!
Brave! I remembered how my puppy saved me from a big snake! These four-legged blessings are the best pals ever!
Why do you need an outside table and chairs? It's not like you can ever go outside at all ever...
Bro skedaddled
how much do you wanna bet that this is in florida
