If confronted by an attacking alligator, experts advise running away in a straight line rather than zigzagging. This method increases distance from the alligator quickly. Gators are ambush predators and are unlikely to chase humans if they are seen. The advice to run in a zigzag came from President Trump but is deemed incorrect by wildlife experts, who stress the importance of getting out of the alligator's range as swiftly as possible.
"You want to get out of range the fastest you can," he said.
"Trying to zigzag is a distraction that you don't need at that moment," Parker said.
