He needs to carry a big stick and open that gator’s mouth wide.

I just yelled, 'you're not going to get her!' and just leaped on the gator…just like you do some silly belly flop in a pool," the Iowa native said. "The only difference was I landed on top of a gator." Iowa native. That gator never had a chance.

The basic rule of safety regarding gators is that you keep more the TWICE the distance from the water’s edge of the maximum lenght of a possible reesident alligator. IOW, if there’s a 7 foot gator in he pond...and others had to have seen it before...then keep infants, pets, and others, 15 feet from the water’s edge..

It is important to remember that a Gator WILL NOT eat a Lawyer.
They risk certain death from toxemia.

Well, he was a corporate lawyer, not an ambulance chaser. I’ll cut him some slack.

Without Gators there would be no egrets, herons, spoonbills, Ibis or storks. Other wildlife depends on gator wallows for drinking water. They are a vital part of a very old chain.

No, it’s not, and it’s an issue I’m well qualified to debate.

“This happens all the time at the Villages. “
==
Read a book about The Villages a while back and realized living there was not for me.
The alligator presence reinforces my decision.

I swear I don’t understand how anyone lives in some of these places; even in the US we have treacherous animals and regularly-scheduled natural disasters.
I consider myself to live in the best place physically there could be.
