That could be scary nonetheless, I had a alligator follow me around in the Okeefenokee swamp when I use to canoe and blow bubbles thru its nose and bump the canoe. This went on all day , it wasn't a very big one only 5 or 6 ft but was aggravating. I was doing bird photography and every five or so minutes I would have to put the blade of the paddle between its eyes and push it away. Later the ranger told me that it was part of the mating ritual and I was lucky it wasn't bigger or hornier or my big yellow canoe would of been compromised.
