Please folks, be extremely cautious around these wild animals. When I lived in south Florida there was a story about a female landscaper who was working a few feet from a pond when an alligator burst out of the water and snatched her. They do stalk their prey. Several other landscapers tried to pull her back out of the alligators mouth and eventually they did so but she died of massive infections from the wounds. Alligators can be incredibly fast and sprint short distances so watch from afar.
