I hate to bust bubbles, but gators are very INACTIVE during the day, except during their mating season. People do NOT WANT to be walking close to them at night or twilight, especially NOT with a dog. They seem like friendly logs during the day, but they turn into man-eating TIGERS at night. Don't be fooled, a lot of Floridians have come in 2nd place after a "close encounter" with a Gator (and lost an arm).
