“Alligators are fascinating creatures and should by all means be enjoyed as part of the natural beauty of our region. But please remember that they are wild animals and should be respected as such. Once they become too familiar with people, they lose their fear of humans, necessitating their removal from the area for the safety of everyone concerned. A few precautions on our part can help both humans and alligators co-exist safely.”
-Dr. J. Whitfield Gibbons

Don’t feed alligators
Keep your distance
It is illegal to harass or throw things at alligators
Never disturb nests or small alligators
