I have a pond in south Georgia and I live in central Fl..Folks in that part of the woods see some amazing things in ponds. I also was told that there was a gator in my pond along with by all accounts what would surely add up to hundreds of cotton mouths.So far I have yet to see a Gator and only one cotton mouth. There seems to be an unnatural fear of these creatures. Now I can understand the fear of Gators come November but those live in Gainsville and eat dogs in Jacksonville!I really wouldn not be to concerned unless I put my own eyes on him. Just in: there has been Gators sighted in Nabraska lookin to chomp down on some Long Horns ! Now thats something to worry about!!! GO GATORS
