It is probably a rare gator who attacks humans. Still have to watch out though.

I was more worried about the little dogs on twenty foot retracting leashes that some people had at the boardwalk on LSL. With that number of people trying to get a look at the gator in the water a small pooch might be bumped into the water. A lot of the strollers did not seem to be paying that much attention to other walkers nor paying too much attention to the gator below.
