As a tourist taking a selfie can be very addictive when visiting a new place. You just want to capture all that moments starting from the most interesting places, the most delicious food, the most expensive clothes as well as many other things.
It is so important that visiting a new place for the first time in life can be so fun but risky at the same time. There may exist some rules that no one will warn you about them. Earth is a strange place and carries so many dangerous creatures.

Imagine what happens if a tourist wants to take a selfie with a very harmful animal like an alligator.

This woman wanted to take a selfie but…
Everything started with a passion for selfie from a 26-year old woman, who reportedly attempted to “take a selfie with an alligator” on Edward Ball nature trail. Witnesses at the scene claimed that they warned the woman that the alligator was moving behind her, but she was too slow to react before it struck, seizing her legs and dragging her into the lake.
As a result of this woman from New Zealand, lost her life tragically while trying to have an uncommon selfie on her phone. This incident occurred just off the nature trail close to the University of Western Florida.

Other people’s reaction when they saw the woman risking her life
According to another people who were near this area, approaching a wild alligator to take a photo is definitely not recommended. The woman who died didn’t even know alligator’s reaction with people when she decided to act relaxed with a dangerous animal. And suddenly she turned her memory into a tragedy.
Here are some words from people who lived in this area for many years.
“I’ve lived in Pensacola all my life,” said one witness, who was walking her dogs along the trail, “but never have I seen anyone take such a big risk, and for so little.” According to the witness, the New Zealand tourist, who is yet to be formally named, deviated from the trail despite being warned by several locals that the gator may attack. “She risked her life to take a photo with a gator? It’s madness, why would you do a thing like that?”

But they warned her
Plenty of people were horrified as the woman approached a gator that was resting on the edge of the trail in a patch of sun. “I pleaded with her to get back onto the trail,” said one male witness, “but she said she was just going to take a selfie and told me not to worry about it.” The woman proceeded to take out her phone and prepare for the selfie, but moments later the alligator lashed out, covering the distance between itself and the tourist in seconds.
“There was no hope for her,” said the male witness. “The whole thing was over in just a few seconds. We saw the gator grab her between his jaws, and there was a sharp cry as he dragged her into the bushes, and then just a strange stillness.” The authorities were summoned almost immediately but nothing could be done. “A few hours later we found a purse which we believe belonged to the victim, but no sign of her body has been found.”

Don’t turn your life into a tragedy
The identity of the New Zealand woman who perished in the attack has not yet been revealed, although it is believed she was visiting relatives in Pensacola.
Authorities have reminded tourists to the region to not take any risks and be aware of the dangers posed by alligators. “For some visitors who are unfamiliar with the strength and speed of these animals, they may be complacent and not appreciate how dangerous they can be. We want to urge tourists to take precautions, and don’t risk your life over getting a photo with an alligator, as it might just kill you.”
