She got significant injuries, was airlifted to a hospital. The alligator was 8 feet long, a trapper removed him from the lake. I'm wondering why people would swim or even wade in States where there are alligators. Maybe they are just braver than me?! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing malevolent about this at all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was tragic when that child was attacked and killed by that alligator at Disney World. The parents should have not allowed that child to be wading in those waters. There were warning signs around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I remember that incident at Disney World....so awful the little boy dragged into the water and killed. Also, recently the lady walking with her dogs was attacked and killed. I forgot the State...was it South Carolina? Somebody from Florida told me that the alligators will sometimes be in the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visiting my Cajun cousins near New Orleans at their place in the bayous, we fished off their dock and could catch fresh water fish one day, and salt water fish the next, (brackish) depending on the tides. We lost half the fish caught to alligators waiting under the dock for lunch. If there was no one around, you could catch them prowling the yard. They're every where. They were there first, and don't plan to leave. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
