Last year, I think it was, there was information here that when an alligator reaches a certain size, it is removed.
Please remember that as much of a novelty as they are to look at, alligators are not your friends.
Some years ago, a couple of my employees and I were in South Florida on business. As we crossed the everglades we wanted to see alligators. We stopped at a local restaurant and the lady gave us some marshmallows and said to go across the road and toss them in the water.
As we did that, there was this old (like 85 year old) guy fishing at the side of the swamp. What he said is stuck in my head forever. He said, "You boys can do what you like. I've been trampin' around these glades all my life. I don't trust NO gator'".
