Fear will get you every time......the only instances of issues here is when people walk their small pets along the ponds. Where humans become an issue with any wildlife is when they feed them...bird feeders, bread for the ducks and meat for the gators or when they put them in a defensive position trying to get that one picture. Then we blame the wild animals because none of this could be our fault. We can coexist with nature, but our behavior makes it difficult.
