Summary
Despite efforts by Florida officials warning residents and visitors about the threat of alligators during mating season, there have been three separate attacks in that state in just one week. The most recent attack happened on Sunday, when a 31-year-old woman hiking with her boyfriend and best friend, died after a massive alligator first bit off one arm, and then attacked her second, as her boyfriend desperately called 9-1-1 for help. She died on her way to the hospital. Two others were injured by alligators including a 19-year-old snorkeler and a young boy who was bitten in the hand while fishing. Florida officials are telling folks: “Assume alligators are present in any body of water in Florida.”

| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:06.0 | Hey there, folks. It is Tuesday, June 30th, and three. Three alligator attacks in one week in central Florida. |
| 0:15.6 | One of them was deadly, and it is horrific. With that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. Robs, |
| 0:24.4 | horrific, if we just heard it described to us by police. Robs, we have a 10-plus minute 9-1-1 call |
| 0:34.8 | that goes through and in which we are taken into what is a horrific scene of a woman |
| 0:42.3 | who's been attacked by an alligator and she has two friends, one or boyfriend, another friend, |
| 0:46.5 | Robes, who are desperately trying to get her help. We've heard a lot of 911 calls in our lives, |
| 0:52.9 | robs. This, was gutting. |
| 0:56.4 | It really was. |
| 0:57.7 | And just to see the transcript, uh, you listened to the entire 911 call. |
| 1:03.2 | I just read the transcript of it. |
| 1:05.4 | And I heard that they were describing screaming, just absolute sheer terror as this boyfriend and the best friend of this 31-year-old woman are desperately trying to save her life. |
| 1:18.6 | So this is happening now at a time. And again, it's Florida. We all generally have an idea. There are alligators in Florida. |
| 1:26.3 | But for those of us that don't live |
| 1:27.9 | their robes, we don't keep in mind every year that this is the time of year. Robs, I didn't, |
| 1:35.2 | I don't, it doesn't register to me that we're sitting in the middle of alligator mating season, |
| 1:40.0 | and that's a dangerous time. Yeah, this is the height of mating season. They say it's May and June, |
| 1:45.9 | and that is when the males typically are the most aggressive because, yes, they are looking for mates. |
| 1:51.2 | So it's basically male dominant alligators in heat, and you do not want to get in their way. |
| 1:59.0 | And another part of that, Robes, is that they're branching out. So what they're doing is they're not staying in maybe the swamps or the Everglades. Other places that, you know, people might sometimes even go to try to spot them. And they have tours and things for this, don't they? I've been on one before in the Everglades. See, they have that. That's one thing, Bro. But what we're talking about, they leave those spots. I've never understood this. I never knew this. But the weaker males can't hold their territory against the big dogs. That makes sense. So they have to start finding other territory to start possibly finding mates. So what do they do? They go into |
| 2:35.4 | areas robes where they don't usually go and that is why they say we see more and more of these |
| 2:40.6 | robs. I just, we are not living in Florida. I hear about it and do it as something about it every |
