The gator activity reminds me of the old country song, "Lookin for love in all the wrong places".

What would you do ?

[maryanna630]

I would leave it alone. It will find its way back to its habitat. I don't think it wants to be moving into Pennecamp.

I believe it is looking for a quiet place to swim. It had tried Tierra del Sol pool, but some ladies who were water walking gave it the stink eye. It felt uncomfortable and left.

Good one.

So all of you dog walkers happen to be minding your own business with Fido and there is a gator who happened to be seen but they decided it would just return to its normal area and wasn't bothering anyone, jumps out and grabs your pooch. Oh my,

[CFrance]

When's the last time that happened, other than the time the dog was unleashed and wandered down to the pond?

I've never heard of dogs being attacked by gators unless the dogs were close to a pond or lake.
Does it actually happen on city streets?

No, it does not.

Your dogs have a much greater possibility of putting a Cane Toad in their mouth and dying a horrible death from their poison.

I would also be vigilant about grandkids and Cane Toad interaction.

Don't worry about the alligators.

If you review Threads regarding Alligators, you will find they are very dangerous creatures to deal with. There is now a hunting season for gators because there are too many. They are not pets!

OMG...you are so correct...leave them alone and they will choose to go back to their own peaceful habitat.

I'm not worried about the alligators but what is a cane toad? Can you describe what they look like and where they might be lurking.
