The woman and her husband started screaming for Covert to get away from the alligator because they saw it grab a deer a few days earlier, deputies said.
Covert said “I don't look like a deer” and reached to touch the alligator when the animal attacked, according to the report.
The husband and a neighbor grabbed a rope and threw it to Covert when she surfaced and stood in the pond. Covert grabbed the rope and said “I guess I wont do this again,” but was suddenly pulled under by the alligator, the police report said.
Effing IDIOT. When I lived in Colorado, I used to go to Estes Park every fall for the Elk Festival. The Elk come down from the mountains and essentially populate the town. It is pretty funny. Elk everywhere. I saw a female tourist going up to a large bull Elk in a parking lot and was reaching to pet it when I told her that wouldn't be a good idea. She looked at me like I was the one who was crazy. Morons.

On a family vacation we were up in Rocky Mountain National Park. We took Old Fall River Road to the Summit, then went West a little. There were people stopped watching a heard of elk in a meadow. Everyone kept their distance but this mom pulls out her throw-away Kodak camera and runs toward a bull elk to get a closer picture.
No one could believe the stupidity, but when she was within 50 yards some guy yelled “Lady, they will charge you and they will kill you!”
She finally stopped about 25 yards away and snapped the picture. I think all of us were hoping this was her last Darwin moment.

I’d have had my camera out, yelling for her to get closer. TV news pays big money for action shots, especially when somebody gets killed. :D

I agree. Cause of death, Darwin.

No doubt her death certificate says covid19.
