Florida woman killed by 10-foot alligator while walking her dog: reports | Fox News
I heard a reporter today say that to get away from an alligator you have to run in a zig zag pattern. Really? A zig zag pattern ..... the area of the bank shown on TV was kinda steep and at 85 I doubt she is going to run up a bank and especially not in a zig zag pattern. It was a very terrifying way for this poor lady to die, but it could have been prevented. She may well have been a winter visitor and not used to the Florida wildlife.
