The knowledge these 2 men have is remarkable. Not in any book or database. Pure experience and instinct and understanding of the landscape
One thing I hope Troy knows about Komodo dragons is not to get their saliva on you. Their saliva contains many different types of bacteria that will break down any living things defenses. Once your bit it will track you down until your to weak to fight back
My buddies 2 kids hunt iguanas north palm beach county. They bagged a 50 pound monitor lizard! Had eaten some pets and terrorized kids in the neighborhood next to the woods.
Never stick your hands in any unknown holes 😂😂😂

The problem is that people that have tegu lizard or a g other lizard as pet and then they let them go cause they don’t want it anymore or it’s illegal . A neighbor long time ago had a big lizard and he put it in the lake behind his house next day it was sitting g on the next door neighbors kids slide in their backyard have no clue what happened afterwards . But people are irresponsible
THANK YOU MR. TROY!! AND THANK YOU TOO CHRIS!! 🐊🐊🐊🐊
They changed direction from the search for a possible monitor lizard or kimodo dragon. TO A GATOR 😂 But really the above named lizards are pretty scary tough. Because those monsters are actually looking for YOU! Like a honeybadger on steroids with poison in their bite. Fast as a gator with longer legs.
“No gators in a part of Florida?”😂. The history channel is historical. 😂
"We're looking for a monster," sticks his hand in a fist-sized hole and pulls out a foot-long lizard that didn't even try to bite him. Lol. Turns out what was lurking in Lake Okeechobee was an alligator, who'da thunk it.
