I just can't imagine what the parents of the little boy that was taken by a very large Alligator are going through? They were on Vacation at Disney World and their 2 year old son was taken and killed by a gator.
I have family who live near Orlando. In Florida, it's just common knowledge you NEVER go near water you're not familiar with. You also don't go into weeds or brush. That's why I love Michigan. Nothing tries to kill you or eat you up here!
I know that for sure jon. I used to live up north. I travelled from DC to Philadelphia for a Redskins game. my gf at the time made the mistake of wearing a redskin jersey. didn't think we'd make it out of there alive. lol
and in some places the bears are bad down here. they're almost humanized. as far as gators, this is the season where females lay their eggs. so, they're very active and protective.
I have been to Florida 3 times my whole life and never been too places that say gators but i do see about your gators on TV and you also have a snake problem as well
