Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations killer gators

DD,

I saw one of the news stories. The article I read said a woman was running in an area surrounded by canals. They authorities theorize that she had taken a break. A passerby saw her resting on a bridge with her legs dangling over the water. They later found two arms inside of a gator that was trapped in the canal. Very scary - we must be mindful of the potential of a large gator, especially one that may be conditioned/lost its fear of humans or associates food with humans.

ewest I think gators will try just about anything, they a very curious of anything in "their" water and sometimes come to inspect it. It is very hard (for me) to predict what will set them off. My gator will sometimes come close, sometimes not. Last week he came rushing over when we poured water from my pier into the water...other times he stays far away.

I'm begining to feel less and less comfortable with having one around.
