It's terrible this happened to her.
When visiting Saw-Grass Golf course in Florida there was a very small pond about the size of a kids wading pool near the entrance, Laying on the knoll was an Alligator sunning itself! Startled me greatly as it lifted it’s head as we drove by. The driver just laughed saying peoople in the south don’t think anything about them as they see them as just part of the nature there.
