Thank you! That's exactly what I was going to post. I've talked to a number of people and read posts by individuals who mistakenly think that when a "nuisance alligator" (which usually just means that someone has spotted it) is reported to FWC that the animal is moved to another area. No!
Can't we all just leave the wildlife alone? Keep your pets and grandchildren safely away from ponds, etc.
SAVE LARRY!
