Yesterday afternoon while on the walking path at the Everglades rec center, 3 alligators were observed along the south side of the pond used for the RC boats. One was about 5 ft long on the bank and two others about 3-4 foot long in the water not far from shore.

Your point. Not unusual for alligators in our ponds.

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

If you're looking at fresh water in Florida there are probably alligators in it.

When I first moved to Florida, I was told to just assume there is at least one alligator in each pond.

The ones you describe are little guys. Its almost mating season. Wait 'til you hear a 10 foot big boy bellow for some lovin'.

Honestly, they were here first. Leave them alone, they will leave you alone.

Just don't walk fluffy close to the pond

Gators, in a body of fresh water in Florida!?!?!? What a concept LOL.

Sorry, I don’t mean to be snarky.

And no, I DEFINITELY won’t be walking my fur babies ANYWHERE near any body of water!

Another astute observation from a TOTV member!

[dennisgavin]

Everglades rec center, 3 alligators Makes sense to to me!!

[MoNonnon]

Coming from up North, I always look to see any....from a distance, of course. Amazing creatures!

[Coffee Lover]

We were amazed and alarmed when we first moved here and saw them here and there. Even had one on our driveway; he went on his merry old way down the storm drain.

And I saw four large snakes

When I see a pond, I imagine no less than 300 alligators 🐊 in it! I can’t understand why houses are built around these ponds/lakes.
