Here’s the trick to alligator (or crocodile) wrestling.

1. Most of their jaw muscles are focused on closing and bite pressure. The muscles to open the mouth are so weak a human can hold a gator’s mouth closed with one hand.
2. Their neurosystem is so primitive, rubbing the underbelly from base of the tail to the neck will render a gator unconscious. Rubbing from neck to tail will revive it.

So, if you ever find yourself cornered by a gator, hold its mouth shut, roll it over, and stroke its belly from tail to neck and go on about your business.

What if the gator's tail is further from its mouth than your reach?

Hello; I did the first on the list. I got a part time job during high school at a drug store. Had different duties including cleaning up. Decided to do a real good job on a nasty storage room floor. Mixed some ammonia based cleaner with Clorox. Cleared out the entire store for a while. No one died or got hurt.

President Biden’s recent signing of a bill to officially establish the Bald Eagle as the national bird reminded me of something that fits this thread.

One of the finalists for consideration as the national bird during the 2nd Congressional Congress was the wild turkey. Thanksgiving would have been awkward to say the least. Grandpa, would you do the honors of sinking this sharp blade into the national bird?
