On the other hand, it is true, alligator attacks are rare in TV.

A few years back my wife and I were walking along a gravel road adjoining the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Northern Minnesota. Moose country. A couple of cars saw us and stopped. Turned out they were researchers from a Big Ten university…Ohio state, if I recall correctly. Their spokesperson, an earnest young lady in ranger hat and camouflage shorts, asked us if we could give them directions to the “moose habitat”. Turns out they were in the area to research the critters.
I recall telling her that the “moose habitat” was pretty much anywhere the moose wanted it to be.
Probably equally true for alligator paths. I doubt the critters are too concerned about following established routes. Their path is going to be pretty much anywhere the alligator wants it to be.
