How to Live Safer with Gators & Crocs
-
DO NOT feed wild alligators or crocodiles. It is illegal and once they see you as a food source, you may become their food.
-
DUSK & DAWN are prime hunting times for gators and crocs, so don't swim in their territory during their meal times.
-
STAND BACK several feet from the shore when fishing. Gators can lunge six feet.
-
NEVER clean fish at boat ramps, docks, or near the water's edge. This is the same as feeding the resident crocodilians.
-
LOOK for slide marks. These mark gator and croc basking grounds or nest sites.
-
NEVER harass a crocodilian, especially small ones for they have protective mothers.
-
DON'T throw garbage or food scraps at the water's edge. This attracts fish and raccoons which in turn attracts crocodilians.
-
BE AWARE of gators and crocs at night when you are near any water source.
-
KEEP arms and legs inside water crafts when in gator country.
