It was a stationary wildlife camera, not a person actively filming.

A gator is going to do gator things. If you are going to live around them, you better be careful.

These animals have lost their fear of man because we’ve been too tolerant and tried to coexist with them.
Crocs and gators were around for hundreds of millions of years before man, and will be around for hundreds of millions of years after we are wiped out.
They don't fear you, not matter how big your pop gun is. They don't fear anything, not like you do. I don't know if they even have that part of their brain.

What I find hilarious is: at my BIL's house... It backs up to a lake (Orlando) there is a 6..7 ft gator in the lake. My BIL SIL have a toddler. My wife, in all seriousness, muttered several times during our last visit " I'd shoot it" ...she definitely doesn't believe in coexisting with predatory lizards..in a residential area... especially with kids

quote:So much of Florida is gator inhabited naturally. So many people living or snow-birding in Florida are from cold Northern or Eastern states, and have no comprehension of how potentially dangerous a big gator always is to them and their pets. So they have no healthy respect for a gator’s presence. Some even think of them as cute or subdivision/park/golf course mascots. And then one day, the gator strikes and all the shock and wailing begins. Born, raised in Louisiana, and lived in FL for 13 yrs. Plenty of public cautions provided. Few understood or heeded.
Always Florida

This is so weird for me because my elderly mother lived in this retirement community ( Spanish Lakes) on an adjoining lake for ten years and I have been there dozens of times. My mom is in utter shock as elderly people tend to get. I’m surprised she would walk this close to the water with a dog, but then again she was 85. God bless her children and give them the strength to cope with this. That’s a lot to deal with.

Isn't it known that some of these bodies of water in Florida are gator infested? If so, how are people still taking a leisurely stroll near the water like that.
There's a small lake at the community where I live. I have to pass by such lake to get my mail, I walk along the sidewalk and a grass buffer of 30' is what separates the lake from the sidewalk. There's not a day that I think an alligator might be present so I walk with extreme caution.

Dogs are clearly man’s best friends, not woman’s.

PSA . . . I saw a 4-foot alligator next to a lagoon in Audubon Park one afternoon while playing golf.

Happens in Florida a lot. Happened once in the last 160 years in Louisiana. Odd.
There was a kid in Slidell circa 2008? (last name Funke I think) who lost an arm to an 11' gator in Slidell. I think he knew it was there and actually swam up to it.
And a 12' gator ate a man during Hurricane Ida also out from Slidell.
I think Boat explains it well. Most of the human-gator interactions in LA are with people who grew up with them and know the dangers.
