I quit swimming in the lakes around here. Seems to be more and more every year. And mating season comes around they get more aggressive.

There was a guy in Wilmington NC swimming in a lake known to have huge alligators. There were signs posted Danger Do Not Swim in here.... Alligators are present. He went swimming around dusk (AKA feeding time) and a 12 Ft gator bit his arm and leg off. I do not feel sorry for him.

Pisses me off they might kill the gator when it was in its own environment, doing what gators do!! Gators live in slow moving water, gators swim and gators bite! Why would you swim your butt into a gator’s house and expect to NOT get yo butt bit? Sheesh...

This applies to pretty much all except the little who was taken at Disney by a gator. That lake lizard never should have been there.

“swimming in a lake near Tampa.”

Might as well be playing on a freeway. At least no dogs were hurt.

Did the alligator have monkeypox?

This, right here, is why I don’t swim. And also why I live in the desert. Alligators, pythons, sharks, eurotrash in thongs, humidity. Them things can kill a fella.

Fire rescue took the 34-year-old man to the hospital after the alligator bit his face, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission which dispatched a contracted trapper to the lake and is continuing to investigate the incident.

I was going to say 'What's to investigate?' but then I realized Florida man was involved.

Even when I was a kid living in FL and spending a lot of time at my Aunt and Uncles house in Tampa you did not swim in the lakes.
