Alligators and crocodiles are some of the most aggressive creatures on the planet - they'll take down a boat if you come up to their nest. ~ Jack Hanna
Alligators quotes by Jack Hanna
Well, I'm wrestling alligators. ~ Claire McCaskill
Alligators quotes by Claire McCaskill
When it comes to wildlife, no state is deadlier than Florida. Let me count the ways: fire ants, mosquitoes, alligators, eastern diamondback rattlers, black bears, panthers, coral snakes, bull sharks, jellyfish, black widow spiders, water moccasins, wasps, crocodiles, pygmy rattlers, brown recluse spiders, wild boar, copperheads, scorpions, Burmese pythons. And ticks. No state has more attacks from fire ants, sharks, or snakes. Let's not forget Mother Nature, who is equally aggressive. Florida is the lightning capital of the United States, attracting by far the most strikes to ground, injuries (more than two thousand since 1959) and fatalities (nearly five hundred since 1959). About seven people die each year from lightning in the Sunshine State, accounting for about 15 percent of the total number of U.S. fatalities each year. ~ Joe Gisondi
Alligators quotes by Joe Gisondi
Down in Louisiana where the alligators grow so mean, there lived a girl that I swear to the world made the alligators look tame. ~ Tony Joe White
Alligators quotes by Tony Joe White
It took me the bulk of my twenties to write one book about a family of alligator wrestlers. Whereas somebody like Steve Martin is releasing his latest banjo symphony, having just completed another movie and acclaimed, best-selling novel. ~ Karen Russell
Alligators quotes by Karen Russell
In private life, Lottie Blossom tended to substitute for wistfulness and pathos a sort of "Passed-For-Adults-Only" joviality which expressed itself outwardly in a brilliant and challenging smile, and inwardly and spiritually in her practice of keeping alligators in wickerwork baskets and asking unsuspecting strangers to lift the lid. ~ P.G. Wodehouse
Alligators quotes by P.G. Wodehouse
Gators are just something you have to accept where I come from. Most don't go anywhere near the houses, even though there are lots of delicious children and dogs there. Every once in a while, though, an alligator has a lightbulb moment and decides to take a stroll and see the world a bit. ~ Maureen Johnson
Alligators quotes by Maureen Johnson
She gazed toward the marsh that grew thicker, deeper, greener with approaching summer. Mosquitoes whined in there, breeding in the dark water. Alligators slid through it, silent death. It was a place where snakes could slither and bogs could suck the shoe right off your foot.
And it was a place, she thought, that went bright and beautiful with the twinkling of fireflies, where wildflowers thrived in the shade and the stingy light. Where an eagle could soar like a king.
There was no beauty without risk. No life without it. ~ Nora Roberts
Alligators quotes by Nora Roberts
My father being an outdoors person, he used to take us on quite a few adventures thorugh the wild areas down there, introducing us to alligators and rattlesnakes and all the trees and plants. ~ Jim Fowler
Alligators quotes by Jim Fowler
Amelia was instantly distracted when she heard one of her favorite songs: What a Wonderful World made famous by Louis Armstrong. The woman singing did the song justice as she sang:
I see trees of gree, red roses, too.
I see them bloom, for me and you.
And I think to myself.
What a wonderful world!
Before she could blink an eye, Rick pulled her into his arms in a waltz position.
He gave her a wink and said flirtatiously, "May I have this dance, my love?"
As they danced to the rhythm of the music, Amelia said, "Don't ever stop flirting with me, no matter how old we get."
"Never! ~ Linda Weaver Clarke
Alligators quotes by Linda Weaver Clarke
Anytime I fall for a dame like you I hope that somebody will take me outside an' cut my head off quick because I would rather be tied up to a coupla wild alligators than get myself hitched on to you. ~ Peter Cheyney
Alligators quotes by Peter Cheyney
Juliet laughed. "You all are crazy, you know that?"
"Oh, for sure," he said with a nod.
"Does it rub off?"
"If you're lucky. ~ Erin Nicholas
Alligators quotes by Erin Nicholas
Don't insert your hand inside a wolf's mouth - or a lion's, bear's, alligator's or crocodile's mouth, or in a lawn mower, garbage disposal, snowblower or blender - because, if you do, you're not going to have that hand for much longer! Don't believe me? Ask my good friend Captain Hook how he got his name! - Tyr ~ Rick Riordan
Alligators quotes by Rick Riordan
Nothing said "successful business" like an old, dusty, busted, duct-taped taxidermied alligator. ~ Alyssa Day
Alligators quotes by Alyssa Day
See you later, alligator. After a while, crocodile. ~ Bill Haley
Alligators quotes by Bill Haley
He'd danced around that story about why he'd moved to Terrebonne more smoothly than an Olympic skater on ice. ~ Susannah Sandlin
Alligators quotes by Susannah Sandlin
The best thing to do is just leave them alone. Alligators want to be away from you just as much as you want to be away from them. ~ Jack Hannah
Alligators quotes by Jack Hannah
In the swamp the alligators drifted like patches of bad-assed water. ~ Terry Pratchett
Alligators quotes by Terry Pratchett
If she had any sense at all, she'd clean out her desk and look for another job. Something safe and sane, like catching alligators or looking for land mines in Afghanistan. ~ Janet Evanovich
Alligators quotes by Janet Evanovich
The Marquis sighed. "I thought it was just a legend," he said. "Like the alligators in the sewers of New York City."
Old Bailey nodded, sagely: "What, the big white buggers? They're down there. I had a friend lost a head to one of them." A moment of silence. Old Naeiley handed the statue back to the Marquis. Then he raised his hand, and snapped it, like a crocodile hand, at the Carabas. "It was OK," gurned Old Bailey with a grin that was most terrible to behold. "He had another. ~ Neil Gaiman
Alligators quotes by Neil Gaiman
The space center's proximity to my backyard came to signify an intersection between heaven and hell. Florida was somewhere between the two; it was America's phantom limb, a place where spaceships were catapulted out into the cosmos. Alligators emerged from brackish water. Vultures and hawks circled above. Mosquitoes patrolled the atmosphere at eye level. We shared an ocean with sharks and dolphins. There were no seasons, only variations of humidity. Time slithered, festering in a damp wake of recollections.

I believed in the Bermuda Triangle. I thought it would move in over Florida one night. By dusk an unknown force would vaporize us through a tear in the atmosphere. We'd be stuck, wandering in a parallel version of the same place, unaware that we were dead but dreaming.

People came here to vanish. ~ Paul Kwiatkowski
Alligators quotes by Paul Kwiatkowski
All the pictures on the walls, they all white as lilies and smiling like alligators. ~ Charlaine Harris
Alligators quotes by Charlaine Harris
If five years from now we solve the access problem, but what we're hearing is all encrypted, I'll probably, if I'm still here, be talking about that in a very different way: the objective is the same. The objective is for us to get those conversations whether they're by an alligator clip or ones and zeros. Whoever they are, whatever they are, I need them. ~ Louis J. Freeh
Alligators quotes by Louis J. Freeh
Louisiana has a larger alligator population than any other state. Just over a million."
"Over a million!" exclaimed Amelia with astonishment. ~ Linda Weaver Clarke
Alligators quotes by Linda Weaver Clarke
Rick had said the perfect honeymoon was being together. ~ Linda Weaver Clarke
Alligators quotes by Linda Weaver Clarke
They put me at ease by telling me that the alligators were rather tired in this particular area, so they wouldn't be likely to bite. ~ Roger Moore
Alligators quotes by Roger Moore
Living in a stupid country is living in a marsh! You are surrounded by the reptiles and the alligators! Refusing hell is the best path to eliminate the hell! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Alligators quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
Everything on Saturday morning [cartoons] moves alike that's one of the reasons it's not animation. The drawings are different, but everybody acts the same way, their feet move the same way, and everybody runs the same way. It doesn't matter whether it's an alligator or a man or a baby or anything, they all move the same. ~ Chuck Jones
Alligators quotes by Chuck Jones
If an optimist had his left arm chewed off by an alligator, he might say in a pleasant and hopeful voice, "Well this isn't too bad, I don't have a left arm anymore but at least nobody will ever ask me if I'm left-handed or right-handed," but most of us would say something more along the lines of, "Aaaaaa! My arm! My arm! ~ Lemony Snicket
Alligators quotes by Lemony Snicket
People wrestle alligators but not once has someone done it without an audience. ~ Doug Stanhope
Alligators quotes by Doug Stanhope
Stimulated by the juice, I believe, men have even been known to ride alligators. ~ P.G. Wodehouse
Alligators quotes by P.G. Wodehouse
the last time I saw commercial laying hens administered hormones, they were given by a unicorn, and brought onto the farm by one of the giant alligators from the sewers. ~ Marc Draco
Alligators quotes by Marc Draco
But all she wanted to do was lie in bed, eat Kraft macaroni and cheese, and hide from the alligators. ~ Rebecca Wells
Alligators quotes by Rebecca Wells
It's so hard for me to sit back here in this studio, looking at a guy out here, hollering my name! - When last year I spent more money, on spilled liquor, in bars from one side of this world to the other, than you made! You're talking to the Rolex wearing, diamond ring wearing, kiss stealing, whoa! wheelin dealin', limosuine riding, jet flying son of a gun and I'm having a hard time holding these alligators down! ~ Ric Flair
Alligators quotes by Ric Flair
I've just done a movie - Albino Alligator - with Viggo Mortensen, who's an actor I idolize. He influenced me in a way that has helped me move toward getting lead parts instead of supporting parts, merely through his presence. So now I tell everyone, as a joke, that I'm entering my Viggo Mortensen phase. ~ Skeet Ulrich
Alligators quotes by Skeet Ulrich
You've got forever; and somehow you can't do much with it. You've got forever; and it's a mile wide and an inch deep and full of alligators. ~ Jim Thompson
Alligators quotes by Jim Thompson
Rick looked at his watch and gave a nod. "Yup! We have enough time before our next appointment."
"Enough time for what?" asked Amelia.
He grinned and began dancing around her and singing in jazz style: "Goin' down the bayou! Goin' down the bayou! Goin' down the bayou! Doodle-ee doodle-ee-doo!"
When Rick saw her eyes brighten, he said, I checked out a few bayous at Cross Lake. We're goin' down the bayou, sweetie."
Amelia asked with laughter in her voice, "Were you just singing a Disney tune? From the Princess and the Frog?"
"Yup! I have many talents. ~ Linda Weaver Clarke
Alligators quotes by Linda Weaver Clarke
There's a lot of time sitting in movies, so you can put alligators in people's trailers in your spare time. So it [making a film] moves slower, which in some ways is great, because you can live with a scene and invest in it a lot. And in some ways it's hard, because sometimes you can start to lose your energy a little bit, but both are fun. ~ Mary-Louise Parker
Alligators quotes by Mary-Louise Parker
Maybe humans are just the pet alligators that God flushed down the toilet. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Alligators quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
If all I can say is I'm not in this swamp, I'm not in this swamp then there is not a rope in front of me and there is not an alligator behind me and there is not a girl sitting at the edge eating a hot dog and if I believe that, then dying would be the only answer because then Death couldn't come and say Peachy to me anymore and after all she has a brother who believes in hope. ~ Tori Amos
Alligators quotes by Tori Amos
Au revoir, jewelled alligators and white hotels, hallucinatory forests, farewell. ~ J.G. Ballard
Alligators quotes by J.G. Ballard
It makes my skin crawl to think about the violent ways snakes, lizards, alligators and other exotic creatures are raised and killed for boots, bags and belts. ~ Kelly Brook
Alligators quotes by Kelly Brook
My love life couldn't be more nonexistent if Julius was all all-girls' boarding school with a moat full of alligators around it. ~ Flynn Meaney
Alligators quotes by Flynn Meaney
Boys, the longer you wait to get my requested prehistoric attack dogs, the more chance we have of people we care about getting hurt, more hurt, or killed. Oh, and don't hurt the alligators
they're a protected species. ~ Gini Koch
Alligators quotes by Gini Koch
It embarrasses me to think of all those years I was buying silk suits and alligator shoes that were hurting my feet; cars that I just parked, and the dust would just build up on them. ~ George Foreman
Alligators quotes by George Foreman
On one hole, I hit an alligator so hard, he's now my golf bag. ~ Bob Hope
Alligators quotes by Bob Hope
Spring time in Florida is not a matter of peeping violets or bursting buds merely. It is a riot of color, in nature - glistening green leaves, pink, blue, purple, yellow blossoms that fairly stagger the visitor from the north. The miles of hyacinths are like an undulating carpet on the surface of the river and divide reluctantly when the slow-moving alligators push their way log-like across. The nights are white nights as the moon shines with dazzling splendor, or in the absence of that goddess, the soft darkness creeps down laden with innumerable scents. The heavy fragrance of magnolias mingled with the delicate sweetness of jasmine and wild roses. ~ Zora Neale Hurston
Alligators quotes by Zora Neale Hurston
They looked so dangerous, like alligators. Really fast alligators wearing black. Ninja alligators. I decided not to use that one on Megan. ~ Brandon Sanderson
Alligators quotes by Brandon Sanderson
Every family is a family of alligators. ~ Lorrie Moore
Alligators quotes by Lorrie Moore

1. harvest
The state of Florida preferred the word "harvest" to the word "hunt" when it allowed hunters to kill 35,000 alligators.

2. naturalize

Alligators quotes by William D. Lutz
Everyone needs someone to balance them out. ~ Erin Nicholas
Alligators quotes by Erin Nicholas
The alligators can get you at any age, Buddy. But the worst thing you can do is freeze. ~ Rebecca Wells
Alligators quotes by Rebecca Wells
Well, when we get hot there are a couple of other things we do," he said.
Had he moved closer?
Juliet swallowed. "Like what?"
"We take clothes off," he said. ~ Erin Nicholas
Alligators quotes by Erin Nicholas
You married me for my brains? I can't believe it."
He grinned. "Well, among other things."
"My charming personality?"
He chuckled. "Not exactly. You have the nicest looking legs ever."
"What?"
"Hey! I can't help it. I guess I'm just a leg man. Personality comes in second. Brains are third."
"Brains are third?" she said in mock disappointment.
"So why did you marry me?"
"Hmmm." Amelia tapped his lips. "Your sweet kisses were the main reason. The rest of you came as a package deal."
"The rest of me?" he said incredulously. "Well, at least I'm a good kisser. I can live with that. ~ Linda Weaver Clarke
Alligators quotes by Linda Weaver Clarke
It's hard, when you're up to your armpits in alligators, to remember you came here to drain the swamp. ~ Ronald Reagan
Alligators quotes by Ronald Reagan
And now a brief public service announcement. Alligators: can they kill your children? Yes. ~ Cecil Baldwin
Alligators quotes by Cecil Baldwin
Just take them rascals [rapists, killers, child abusers] out in the swamp / Put 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stump / Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest, ~ Charlie Daniels
Alligators quotes by Charlie Daniels
With the vague hope that it might somehow explain his dream, he took one of his old textbooks from the shelves and tried to read the chapter on lycanthropy. The book cataloged the queerly universal primitive beliefs that human beings could change into dangerous carnivorous animals. He skimmed the list of human wolves and bears and jaguars, human tigers and alligators and sharks, human cats and human leopards and human hyenas. The were-tigers of Malaysia, he read, were believed invulnerable in the transformed ~ Jack Williamson
Alligators quotes by Jack Williamson
The thought of hovering above the earth, weightless in a lilac sky, appealed to her, in the same way imaginary friends appealed to her, or talking alligators. ~ Sarah Addison Allen
Alligators quotes by Sarah Addison Allen
Once when I was golfing in Georgia, I hooked the ball into the swamp. I went in after it and found an alligator wearing a shirt with a picture of a little golfer on it. ~ Buddy Hackett
Alligators quotes by Buddy Hackett
When you're up to your ass in alligators, you forget about cleaning the swamp. ~ Robert DeBard
Alligators quotes by Robert DeBard
I love The Inn at Palmetto Bluff, an Auberge Property in Bluffton, South Carolina. It's a spectacular corner of the world, with massive old trees lined with Spanish moss, and alligators swimming in the river. ~ Gail Simmons
Alligators quotes by Gail Simmons
I'm also fascinated by the difference between terror and fear. Fear says, "Do not actually put your hand in the alligator," while terror says, "Avoid Florida entirely because alligators exist. ~ Mira Grant
Alligators quotes by Mira Grant
Nobody in the city of Los Angeles knows how to catch an alligator, ... We have no experience in recreation and parks, the zoo or animal control. ~ Janice Hahn
Alligators quotes by Janice Hahn
Ceelie preferred cats and small dogs, although they tended to be eaten by alligators around here, as she recalled. Munchability wasn't a desirable trait in a pet. ~ Susannah Sandlin
Alligators quotes by Susannah Sandlin
After a long while, Rick cleared his throat and pulled over to the side of the road. He then turned to her and said, "Amelia sweetie, a lot of problems are caused because of a lack of communication. When you try to guess what the other is thinking, then that's when you get into trouble. If we communicate, find time for one another, don't take each other for granted, and even share responsibilities, it will bring us closer."
"Share responsibilities?"
He nodded. "Sure. A man who thinks he's too good to share with the chores needs to reevaluate his relationship with his wife. ~ Linda Weaver Clarke
Alligators quotes by Linda Weaver Clarke
the difficulties of making temperature experiments [on fully grown alligators] would be great and can be best left to the imagination.") ~ Brian Switek
Alligators quotes by Brian Switek
Far off in the red mangroves an alligator has heaved himself onto a hummock of grass and lies there, studying his poems. ~ Mary Oliver
Alligators quotes by Mary Oliver
We have unfinished personal business I do believe." He smiled. "And I do love to make you blush."
"It clashes with my hair. ~ Susannah Sandlin
Alligators quotes by Susannah Sandlin
Writing fantasy lets me imagine a great deal more than, say, writing about alligators, and lets me write about places more distant than Florida, but I can tell you things about Florida and alligators, let you make the connection all on your own. ~ Terry Brooks
Alligators quotes by Terry Brooks
Remember that postcard Grandpa sent us from Florida of that Alligator biting that woman's bottom? That's right, we all thought it was hilarious. But, it turns out we were wrong. That alligator was sexually harassing that woman. ~ Homer
Alligators quotes by Homer
Besides alligators, the only animals to be feared are the poisonous serpents. These are certainly common enough in the forest, but no fatal accident happened during the whole time of my residence. ~ Henry Walter Bates
Alligators quotes by Henry Walter Bates
After a moment, Amelia heard Rick humming as he marched down the ramp. It was a familiar tune. She raised a curious brow as she listened to him and then it dawned on her.
"Singing in the Rain!" she exclaimed. "How do you know that song?"
He glanced over his shoulder and smiled. "I had sisters. Remember?" And with that statement, he burst into song: "I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain. What a glorious feeling'! I'm happy again. ~ Linda Weaver Clarke
Alligators quotes by Linda Weaver Clarke
Skins tanned to the consistency of well-traveled alligator suitcases. ~ Russell Baker
Alligators quotes by Russell Baker
Feed the alligators and you get bigger alligators. ~ Helen Gurley Brown
Alligators quotes by Helen Gurley Brown
Writing is the hardest way of earning a living, with the possible exception of wrestling alligators. ~ Olin Miller
