Loading ...Yeah I know where there’s water there could be a gator that’s the problem. 4 attacks with one death in two weeks doesn’t seem rare to a non local lol
Just passing through might be one thing but splashing around might be another. That can attract sharks thinking it’s a dying fish.
They may not hunt you but they could be waiting for you to step or fall in your fare game. They do hunt your pets . Why people walk their dogs next to them then be surprised when they leao out and grab their dog I’ll never know. There’s probably hundreds of avoided attacks.
I wouldn’t want to swim in that green still water that probably full of things like EColi with Ferrets prehistoric giant lizards with big teeth because that’s their territory. Just like we react if they go up to houses why shouldn’t they.
Surfing is another thing. Perhaps they’d be more of a threat if they hunt you.
There’s probably much to learn from those prehistoric creatures. Like fighting bacteria. I do hope they studied there’s so they know what antibiotics to start a bite victim on right away.
What I am surprised is with all those gators around and all the bites they haven’t taught the locals how to drive them off and first aide, pressure points and how to apply a tourniquet correctly. That and perhaps they should each carry a large bandana to use as a pressure bandage or tourniquet if needed and something to twist it with. It might have saved that one young woman’s life recently along with her boyfriend if he would if helped her fight it off.
Florida has recorded four unprovoked alligator attacks during a busy two-week span this summer, including one fatal incident. [1, 2]
