I DO live here, and there are MANY alligators.
Do you tolerate man-eaters?
I grew up in Florida in the 70s and 80s. We would never swim in freshwater lakes or canals. Never.
Poor lady.......the picture is cringe worthy.......if not a gator, we also have poisonous snakes
Agree
I live here too.....and wherever you have water....be it lake, pond, river, etc ....you will have gators.
Once and only once a large gator was sprawled in our back yard......taking in the sun.
Golfers usually play around them.
Where this woman went swimming is a popular beautiful area....
....but locals know better than to swim in certain parts
Even small boats, canoes should be cautious
