fizzbyn,
there are plenty of gators around, it's florida. The last couple of days, we've seen one about 6' long sunning in the swampland just off of Morse north of LSL.
Don't let dogs , children or you near the shallows.
PS- if a gator ever chases you, make a lot of 90degree turns, they don't turn well. If that doesn't seem to be working, run faster than your friend!
