Especially if you decide to go swimming in the largest lake in the county.

Still though, gotta give him a hand for swimming to shore after getting his skull gently mouth-berked by a 12 footer.

Gator numbers are on the rebound in FL so the number of attacks are up. 

First one in 12 years showed up in the pond behind my house-HOA refused to remove it.

Florida is cray-cray.

They were everywhere when I lived in the state as a kid in the late 80s! I wouldn't even dream of swimming in a random body of water in Florida then much less now. I loved throwing bullfrogs to them at night though. Catching the occasional baby when fishing was not fun because then the grownups come to help.

I had no idea that University of Florida fans were such a threat to the public.

Did you try having a neighbor report it as an unapproved lawn ornament? cheeky
