Let’s head down to Florida where anything can and does take place. If you can dream it up, there’s a good chance it will go down in the Sunshine State. That goes for both people and animals.The latest example to prove that point comes from a fisherman out on the Kissimmee river near Lake Okeechobee. Captain Justin Morgan, who runs a fishing guide service, captured the crazy video.The clip shows a scene that you don’t see every day, a bear swimming across the river with an alligator hot on its trail chasing it towards the shore.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE FROM OUTKICK OUTDOORS”Alligator tracking down a bear across the Kissimmee river near Lake Okeechobee,” the captain captioned the action.”We were out bluegill fishing when what from a distance looked like a wild hog was a black bear swimming across the Kissimmee with a gator not far behind! Not something we get to see everyday but really cool to watch!”SON OF FLORIDA ALLIGATOR ATTACK VICTIM SAYS TOURISTS AND TIKTOKERS ARE EMBOLDENING THE GATORSThis was close to giving us a straight out of a nature documentary look at what would happen if an alligator and a black bear ever went at it in the wild.That begs the question. What would happen? Did the alligator give chase after mistaking the bear for something else it could easily take down?Does the advantage lean towards the alligator in the water and the bear on land? That’s what I would assume.GEAR UP FOR FALL WITH LABOR DAY DEALS ON HUNTING, FISHING, CAMPING AND OUTDOOR LIVING ESSENTIALSA bear did successfully fend off a couple of alligators trying to attack it in the water before, but is that how they always play out or do alligators put some in the win column?In this case, the alligator appears to lose interest once the bear makes it to the shore. The bear takes a look back before wandering into the woods and doesn’t seem interested in the alligator either.Who would have won a showdown between these two?
