There is a very small pond close to my house, yes I assume it has a gator...I never actually check, but has someone put their little baby gator in to get things started? Why don't they just scale the ponds somehow and remove them?...can you tell I'm scared?
Again it just baffles me...we're gonna build this beautiful community, homes and streets and trees and beautiful ponds here and there...and now, bc of what...the ponds are full of gators...did they all travel at night past the gate guards from outside the TV and jump in. This isn't caveman vs Adam..this is cow field, development, ponds...now full of gators........your turn, educate me. Pls
You don't need to be educated, just reassured. Unless you are swimming in the ponds you are very unlikely going to be bitten by an alligator. Enjoy the wonders of our Florida wildlife that shares our community.
