You are so right Barefoot, there are gators everywhere in TV. There have been pictures posted on these boards of gators roaming around villages and I remember one particular gator was at someone's front door. When it comes to wildlife it's an amazing place to live and no need to be fearful, just take Firewalker's advice (he's a gator trapper) and give the gator his space.
I'm more fearful of the drivers in TV than I am of the wildlife.
