I didn't factor in any alligators when I moved in last year. It took me several months to even see one. Saw a baby one sunning itself at the shore of each of our large ponds the other day. I just keep my distance and stay near the path. That lady who was killed brought her little dog right up to the edge of the pond and didn't see the gator's eyes moving toward them. It probably thought it was feeding time. The further you are from the edge of the pond your % of running into one go drastically below rare. I'm more concerned about bad drivers here.
