Did They Catch Him Like That
Here's a fun fact: alligator meat is quite popular in the South. You must've believed it's not edible, but it totally is. There is a short hunting season for the meat, but it has to be picked up from an alligator farm. The other thing we're curious about here is how did it get that turkey in its mouth?
Was it already there when they caught it, or did someone get creative for Thanksgiving dinner? We're not sure if we'd ever try this meal, but people in the South seem to love it.
Waiting For The Drop
This is the kind of situation that a country girl won't find herself in. Not to say that women can't be a part of a rodeo event because, from what we've seen so far, we know that they definitely can!
Women used to participate in the bronc and bull ride during the early part of the 20th century. This changed in 1929 when a female rider died. Now we can see them on animals of the mechanical kind instead of the real thing. Good, too, since that means they can avoid situations like this.
A Living Room Floating on a Lake
Here's another example of the creativity of Southern folks: listening to the game on the radio with a bunch of friends and a whole lot of beer. This is the life every man from the Southern end of the United States would want.
Most would opt for this kind of relaxed day in the living room or near a lake, but why not combine both for the perfect place? These men have taken their entire living room out onto the lake, but we're not sure if the boards below can withstand the weight of the sofas for too long.
The Origin Of Mud Baths
One thing we love about Southern girls is that they're not afraid to get dirty. They don't mind the mud, and after all, it's great for the skin. Perhaps, that is the secret to their beauty. Mud is anti-inflammatory and can help soothe aching muscles and invigorate them.
It also contains minerals like sodium, magnesium, and potassium, which are great for skin health. This girl right here is pictured during a mud fight. Mud fighting is extremely popular in the South, and the first professional mud wrestling organization was formed in Akron, Ohio, in the '30s.
Talk About A Modern Southern Belle
The term Southern Belle dates back to the Antebellum period, and this term was reserved for young women who had just come of age and were ready to be part of the mature society's social circles. They often dressed up in hooped skirts, a corset, straw hats, and gloves.
They never had a tan because that was a feature of the working class, but these girls seem to be breaking all these traditions. Southern girls now are all about the tan and denim shorts. After all, it can get quite hot over there!
Show the Bull Who's Boss!
Bull riding is extremely popular in the South, and Southerners can't get enough of the Rodeo. Not only is it popular amongst men, but country girls seem to love it too. Not only do they love watching the sport, but getting on the bull is no problem for them either.
The poster in the background says, "Show the bull who's boss," and it seems like this girl is doing just that. We're not sure why she's in a bikini, though, since there is no water around. Not the brightest idea to be riding a mechanical bull in that outfit!
All-American Americans
What is the best way to show your patriotism? An American flag bikini, of course! These girls have the Southern look down, as they're wearing short shorts, cowboy boots, and bikini tops. The only way to make the bikini look better is to put the national flag on it.
We bet these girls also know a handful of patriotic songs like "Only In America," "Living In America," and "Color Me America." We also bet that this isn't the only patriotic piece of clothing they own, nor is it the only bikini they own.
They Even Love To Fish
Fishing is a popular pastime in America, and in 2019, U.S. anglers took more than 187 million trips to recreational fisheries. An average of 50 million Americans made these trips, and this was the highest participation rate in U.S. history. It seems like this woman loves fishing too and caught a massive one.
You could tell by the proud look on her face that this was a really great catch, and they're definitely going to be feasting tonight. Southern girls aren't afraid of the rough and demanding life, so we shouldn't be surprised that they're down to catch their own food.
Alligator Scarves Are So In Style
Never question the outfit choices of a Southern girl. Even if she pairs studded cross earrings with a cheetah print bikini and an alligator scarf, okay, maybe you could question the alligator scarf! This is an excellent example of how fearless these girls are. They don't even mind jumping into the water to pose with an alligator around their necks.
They may not be as volatile as crocodiles, but they're still scary animals. In America, it's only legal to have a pet gator in the states of Alabama, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Wisconsin.
Once The Dirt Is Done
Like we said before, Southern girls don't mind some dirt if it means they'll have fun. Most of the fun in the country involves dirt, and we can see a quad bike in the picture—we all know it's super enjoyable to ride it in some mud.
From their faces, it seems they did have quite a blast, though. There is nothing quite like finishing the day with dirt on your face and aching muscles. And their outfit of choice for some biking in the mud? Well, a bikini, of course.
Everything We Know Country Girls Are About
Country girls fish just as hard as country boys, and they can pretty much do anything their male counterparts can. They're not afraid of anything, so you know who runs things in these parts when a woman catches the biggest fish in the competition. This woman has managed to capture a sizeable one here.
The biggest fish that you can catch in American freshwater is the white sturgeon, and these can grow up to 5.2 feet long. She even managed to catch a fish in their classic outfit: a bikini top and denim shorts!
Now That's What We Call Catfishing
Shows like "Hillbilly Handfishin'" showcase the true nature of catfishing, but everybody on the internet knows it as something different. Catfishing is a term used when someone online adopts a fake internet persona and pretends to be someone they're not to lure people into relationships or extort money from them.
There's also a top-rated show on the subject called "Catfish" on MTV. However, there's nothing fake about this girl, and she is pictured here with a huge catfish in her arms. We're sure all the boys around her were jealous of this catch!
A Dress To Match... My Tractor?
Driving a truck isn't anything strange when you live in the country. You either drive an American muscle, a pickup truck, or a tractor. Granted, it's not the most common way to get around, but many people own these vehicles, and some people even like to match their outfits to them, like this girl.
This gorgeous country girl can be seen posing in a green dress in front of her green truck. She's even wearing ugg boots to complete her look. Perhaps, she's a model, and this is for a photoshoot, or maybe, she just loves this truck!
More Posing
Country girls are rough and tough, but that doesn't mean they're not pretty. They are just as beautiful as they are strong and know how to dress themselves up. It's another thing country girls do better than boys. They're also great at poses, like this girl who is seen posing in front of a lake.
She even has the proper country look down; cowboy boots, denim shorts, and a cropped top. If this kind of picture was used in postcards and advertising, there might be more tourism in the countryside.
This Pick Up Truck Can Become Anything
Pick-up trucks are the vehicle of choice in the country. Not only do they work great on muddy roads, but they are also multi-purpose. You can even use the trucks when you're not driving as this girl did.
The country can get quite hot, so if you don't have access to a pool nearby, you can just fill your truck with water and relax with a nice, cold drink. These trucks can also be converted into a mini camper with beds and a base for a screen to create an outdoor cinema.
No Damsels in Distress
One thing you won't find in the country is a damsel in distress. They can pretty much do anything a man can, and they're also known for having great knowledge about vehicles. They can drive monster trucks and heavy bikes in rocky terrain, and they don't mind fixing them either, even if it means getting all dirty.
As we've already established, dirt isn't something that scares these girls. In this picture, these women can be seen pushing their bikes out of the mud, and they manage to look great while doing it.
Men Can Also Rock Bikinis
We wonder his this happened. Either this man lost a bet with his friends or was the first one to fall asleep at a party. It is also possible that he just likes the look and decided to rock a bikini top like the country girls do.
Of course, a bikini made out of chest hair isn't the most appealing, but to each their own, we suppose. After all, he can wear whatever he likes in this free country. This guy appears to be content with what he has chosen to wear (or not wear), and his lady friend looks equally proud.
Well... Time To Get Muddy
Quad biking is the most fun when you can drive it in shallow water or mud and let it get as wild as possible. However, that is not the safest way to drive. While a little mud is okay, driving it into the middle of a swamp is definitely not!
How did that other quad bike get to the other side? It most certainly didn't float there. We love that these ladies are not afraid to jump in the mud and help each other out. At least they’re not getting their clothing dirty.
Well... Not Everybody Hated Him
Donald Trump was quite a controversial politician, and he may just be the most hated president the United States has ever seen. While most people in America weren't a fan, they sure seemed to love him down there in the South!
Not only did they show their love for him by voting and making him president, but his merchandise was quite popular, too. His fans wore the "Make America Great Again" cap but this lady took it a step further and printed his face on her swimsuit. Maybe not the best way to show your devotion.
Who's Ready To Go Car Washing!
A bikini car wash is quite a popular concept, and we see it in movies all the time. However, this is almost an everyday thing for these country girls, considering they pretty much only wear bikinis. Dirt and mud are also a part of their lives if they love to drive big trucks around.
This image looks quite appealing, and maybe it could even be in a truck lover's calendar. We're sure many men in the South would be flocking to buy that. This girl seems ready to scrub. A few phone calls to her friends, and this truck will be spotless in no time!
Riding into the Sunset
Riding into the sunset behind your prince charming on a gorgeous horse is quite the romantic image, but it may not always come true for everyone. Some people actually kick it up a notch by driving their lady love on an engineered piece of machinery.
It looks like a cross between a motorcycle and a truck, but what can we really call this thing? The rear is a tractor manufactured by John Deere. On the front, no one does this style better than Harley Davidson. So maybe we call it a Harley Deere?
Ready, Aim, Great Shot
The gun debate is a polarizing topic in the United States, and many people are fighting for a gun ban without proper documentation. About half of Americans (53%) prefer stricter gun regulations, as per the Pew Research Center's April 2021 survey. Others believe it is a constitutional right and Southern folks are definitely some of those people.
Guns have become an essential part of American culture, and they're so casual that this girl doesn't even need proper shooting attire to shoot. We're not sure who had more fun here, the girl shooting the gun or the photographer taking the picture?
This Is What The Country Fair Is All About
For many in the South, a country fair is the highlight of the year, being one of the most critical events in their social calendars. Dressing your best is essential, and since no one minds a bikini as a top in these parts, these outfits are more than perfect.
The country fair has a bunch of activities to offer with people selling things and making exciting stuff. There are also tons of competitions from tractor pulling to ax throwing. Of course, food is also a big part of these events, but we doubt we can eat a lot if we were to wear such outfits.
Southern Belly Dancing
Southern girls have one thing in common with one another: their style. They often opt for bikini tops, denim shorts, and cowboy boots. The South can get quite hot, so it's essential to be as comfortable as possible, and country girls know how to follow that rule.
This girl seems to be the exception, though, and instead of the typical Southern look, she opted for something more Arabic. She's wearing a belly dancing outfit on top of her clothes and paired it with a cowboy hat. Truly the best of both worlds!
A Wedding On The Lake, Country Style
Every girl dreams of the perfect wedding. From their outfits to the decorations, everything is planned. The venue is also essential, and most opt for something romantic like a lovely ceremony near a lake or on the beach. Water adds an element of beauty to the day, and we think this couple opted for the same.
The water seemed quite muddy, so the best way was to drive a monster truck into the middle of the swamp to exchange vows. It may not be beautiful, but it is creative and definitely screams country!
That's One Way To Take A Mud Bath
Well, this seems like a mud festival of some sort. We know mud fighting is pretty popular in the South, but no one seems to be fighting here. Everybody's just having a good time playing with the mud, and this lady has decided to make a big splash.
Country girls love mud, but we weren't sure they loved it this much. People are cheering as if this woman is chugging a keg, and kudos to the photographer for the perfectly timed photo. Mud is also really great for the skin, so this can count as a luxurious mud bath.
Aren't Those Supposed To Be Horseshoes?
One thing you cannot blame a country girl for being is lacking in the ingenuity department. If they don't have what they need, they will make do with what they have and still have the same amount of fun. They can make the best out of every situation as this woman did.
In the absence of horseshoes, she got clever and collected all of the toilet seats she could find to continue playing the game. We're not sure if this game has another name, but we're sure the concept is the same.
Life's a Party
People in the countryside of America sure do know how to have a blast, and they can even party in the mud. This looks like some pre-game drinking for a game called "mud bogging." The competition aims to see who gets furthest before getting stuck or gets over the quickest.
These big trucks are used, and even if drinking while driving is illegal, they won't be driving on roads, so it shouldn't really matter. It's best to party it up before the big game because that's most of its fun anyway.
We Are The Champions
As we mentioned before, mud bogging is a very popular sport in the Southern states of America and Canada. There are even organizations responsible for mud bogging events. They are known as the American Mud Racing Association and the National Mud Racing Organization.
Many different kinds of vehicles can be used as long as they can withstand the rough terrain. This type of vehicle is one of the best, though, and it is called a monster truck. It's enormous, and it seems like these people won; hence, the guy's victory pose on top of the truck.
That's How You Know It Was Fun
There's one important rule to remember if you're in the South; it's only fun if you get dirty! It seems like this girl had quite the blast as she's covered in dirt and mire, but like a true country girl, she doesn't seem to mind at all.
She's pictured here driving a quad bike, and judging from the looks of her and the bike; things got rough! It's incredible to think about how messy country girls like to get, considering that, apart from football, most of America's favorite sports aren't as messy.
Smart Country Folks
Do we really need more examples of the ingenuity of country girls? We already know they're great at building things and working machines. They're also great at finding accessible alternatives. But this is next-level innovation, even if a little dangerous.
These people decided to power their rowboat with a motorcycle to turn it into a speed boat. While the idea seems like it's incredible, we're unsure if it will work. At least the girls look excited, and obviously, he aims to impress them with a nice little race around the lake.
I'm on Top of the World
Southern folks are crafty and know how to get out of most situations. They don’t mind the dirt and will always find hacks. However, sometimes even they can get stuck in a rut.
These ladies seem to have gotten themselves stuck in the middle of a muddy field, and you can see the girl is calling for help. We think the girls would probably do a better job anyway, given that they don’t mind getting a bit of dirt on themselves. There is no need to call the boys here!
Make Way For This Diver
Jumping off the roof is never a great idea. But like we said before, Southerners aren't afraid of anything! A dive into this pool isn't the best idea because it's roughly only four feet deep. This means he's definitely going to bump his head to the ground. How hard depends on how much horizontal flow he can get in his dive.
Not like it's an Olympic pool. At the Tokyo Olympics, the depth of the diving pool was 16.4 feet for a dive from the platform, which is 32.8 feet high.
Ride 'Em Cowboy
That kid is already practicing to be a cowboy. Of course, given his stature, it is pretty impossible for him to handle a full-grown horse, so a sheep is the best option. However, we're not sure if he's doing an excellent job with the sheep.
What he is doing here is called Mutton Busting, where kids ride sheep instead of a bronc or bull. He probably still has a long way to go before he can graduate to the more traditional animals. Either way, we're sure his parents are proud!
A Feast For A Kings Party
While veganism is quite popular in places like Los Angeles, many Southern people are still very much meat-eaters. Whenever there's a feast, you just know there's going to be a lot of meat, from steaks to hotdogs.
The picture here looks like something you would see on a TV show like "Vikings" or "Game Of Thrones." However, it's just another Saturday night in Southern America. Look at all that delicious meat, and even the cooking technique is quite efficient. This method actually comes from Germany and is known as a Schwenker.

Does My Tail Look Good?
Synchronized swimming is fascinating to watch, and we always wonder how these swimmers manage to time their strokes perfectly to match one another. It takes a lot of practice, but it doesn't always end up perfect, like this woman who looks like a mermaid.
The photographer captured the picture at the perfect moment, and so this swimmer appears to be an extra-long woman with a super flexible body in this shot. You might be interested to know that the sport wasn't part of the Summer Olympics from the start, and it only got added in 1984.
Stop Sticking Your Head In The Wrong Places
Wrestling is great for people who have a lot of built-up anger and want to hit something. It's cheaper than going to therapy, at least! It requires a lot of grappling and takedowns, and it's definitely anything but pretty.
Nobody expects to get great pictures when they're getting all roughed up, but this one is just ridiculous. The photographer managed to capture a shot at an absurd moment, and it looks like the guy in blue got his head stuck in the worst place ever. It's something that happens in close contact sports.
Channeling My Inner Pufferfish
The duck face is so 2015; try copying this pufferfish face for your next selfie like this diver. Diving is yet another sport that requires a high level of strength and skill. Divers jump from a high springboard or platform and do different acrobatic stunts as they plummet down to the water.
We're sure this girl had a majestic dive, but the facial expressions caught on camera took the focus away from her dive. We're sure the judges only saw the picture later on and focused on her dive instead.
The Headless Acrobat
You are bound to get strange pictures mid-way through your routine, but it seems like this woman doesn't even have a head! The image was captured at such an angle, but you could see that the woman was highly-skilled because tilting one's head that way for a split second takes a lot of flexibility.
Most gymnasts start at quite a young age, and it takes a lot of practice before one can begin to compete. The Science of Gymnastics Journal held a study in 2018 and discovered there are more female gymnasts, but they said more men take part in the Olympics.
Head In The Clouds. Literally!
It looks like this giraffe could just grab the cloud from the sky and eat it like cotton candy. The picture is beautiful and something we might not see on a Safari-themed calendar. The position of the tree is also perfect because the cloud looks like its leaves.
The giraffe is an animal known for its long legs and neck. They also have a unique coat pattern and ossicones, the columnar or conical skin-covered bone structures on their heads. Male giraffes are often taller than females, for their height reaches a whopping 18 feet.
The Real Big Bird
Big Bird from "Sesame Street" may seem like the largest animal in the world, but he's just a man in a costume. This sanderling here might just be the biggest bird—at least according to this cameraman. It almost looks like a prehistoric bird that feeds on humans, so people should really be worried if this is true.
This is only a picture from a very close angle, though, so there's nothing to worry about. What makes the photo interesting is the timing because it looks like the bird is about to pick up a woman lying down on the beach.
Just A Boxer Living Its Best Life
Dogs are pretty playful, and usually, when they're caught on camera, they're seen having a great time. This Boxer Bulldog seems to be enjoying a nice game of catch with its owner on the beach, and he was photographed mid-air. It is quite an excited dog, as seen from its expressions.
Boxers are faithful to their owners, and they love playtime because they're energetic pups. Families love them because they're protective, spirited, and patient with kids. Nowadays, people treat pooches as their children that ultimately grow up to become part of the family.
I Never Agreed to This
Not everyone is a fan of sports, and it seems like this girl isn't either. Perhaps, she agreed to something else but ended up getting hit in the face with a ball instead. Her expression is anything but angry or afraid, and she just genuinely looks like she's questioning every life decision.
The first decision she's probably questioning is agreeing to play this game. This photo might've been purely creative, but it's making us wonder if she needs any help—props to the cameraman for capturing this moment. We still feel sorry for the gal, though.
One Jealous Hippo
The proposal between a couple is almost as important as their nuptials, and people want to ask the big question in the most romantic way possible. This guy decided to get down on his knee at the zoo, and while their friends may be cheering them on, somebody else in the photo doesn't seem too happy.
The hippo in the background looks quite angry about the whole thing, and maybe she's just jealous. It makes for quite a funny picture, and this is surely one moment the couple will remember.
How Big Can It Get?
Water balloon fights are a great way to have fun in the sun. Water balloons are basically balloons filled with water instead of air. These children decided to ditch the small boring ones to use an enormous piece for an even better experience.
They're caught in the picture trying to fill the balloon, and it popped the exact moment the camera clicked the photo. As can be seen, it grew pretty big and got this girl drenched in water after it popped. Too bad we have no picture of that moment.
