There are thousand of alligators in the lakes in Central Florida. I saw them all the time when I lived there. But for the most part they are shy of humans. For good reason. They were slaughtered to the brink of extinction for their hides and meat back in the day. They've made a big comeback since coming under protection.
Ironic that the Police Department's spokeman's last name is "Gross".

I believe this protection has gone too far.
Sometimes I visit Central Florida and there I noticed they have mini ponds in the middle of housing developments.
While driving down a main street in The Poinciana/Kissimmee area I noticed a very large gator sunning himself near the side of the road.
The animal lovers have really gone nuts there.
