Some Floridaman has. Apparently their jaws are really good for chomping down, but not that great for opening back up. So, you belly flop on the thing from behind, and it can’t really do a thing to you while you take some shoelaces and tie the gators jaws shut. At that point you can transfer the gator to a different swamp that isn’t inhabited by Floridaman. At least that’s the best description of the technique I watched the guy use.

It doesn’t necessarily matter. They just don’t like running after prey.
They can make swift dashes on land to catch prey sunbathing or something that’s escaping, but that’s the limits of what they’d like to do.
It’s like Pandas. They’re cute as hell, but if it wasn’t for us, they’d have died out already. They’ve evolved themselves to a point where all they eat is one specific plant, and they have such a low sex drive that we can’t even show them Panda Porn to get them horny. We literally have to extract sperm from their balls and inject it into the uterus of the female to make baby pandas.
Evolution is lazy is what I’m trying to say.

Dude you’re completely totally wrong about Pandas.
Pandas only have fertility issues in captivity. Everything you described just now ONLY applies to pandas living in captivity
They do just fine in the wild. At least, they
The reason for their falling population numbers is their loss of habitat.
And if I remember correctly they have one cub every two years, overall low rate of reproduction but that has more reproductive strategy than anything else.
Suffice to say: pandas reproduce much more successfully in the wild than previously thought
