Next thing we'll hear is something tragic happened due to stupidity and being just plain naive. Folks watch that stuff on t.v. where guys catch gators and nothing seems to happen and it's seemingly all done in fun. The gators in FL (except at Disney perhaps) are NOT mechanical folks!! I've heard the stories of folks here in T.V. that spotted a gator on shore and ran close to get a photo of it. Most times, these critters will quickly slither into the water BUT what "if" that one time it didn't????!!!!
You see the signs down on the boardwalk too, that say, "Don't feed the gators!". BUT one day were were sitting and having an ice cream cone by the radio station and what should you see but folks throwing food out at the gator that was swimming close by!! Guess they can't read English...OR...don't think the signs apply to them!
