"Swamplandia!" is ultimately about the aching beauties of youth the way life begins with such dumb sweetness, while the lessons that give it meaning lurk around each bend like terrifying gators in a mossy, fragrant swamp.
'Gators are huge strips of shredded tyre littering the highways and just one of them "can rip off your fuel-crossover line".

Sharks, gators and bears combined killed half as many people as snakes (6 deaths per year) and spiders (7 deaths per year).
If we want to properly contextualize shark attacks, we need to compare sharks to their peers -- bears and gators and the myriad other fanged barbed and venomous creatures that could sting us or bite us or otherwise ruin our day.

Goodbye to all that! she sang, moving the little she owned to the station wagon: her ex-boyfriend's guitar, the camping equipment they'd bought the first year of grad school (their single night on the Suwannee, they were petrified by the bellows of bull gators), a crate of books.
My gators start, like seeds, small, but you feed them into becoming attractions.
After our group goodbye to the gators, my friends left overnight in the middle of the dark.
