How to prevent alligator attacks

According to the FWC, the serious wounds caused by the alligators are rare in Florida.

What can you do:

FWC recommends taking the following precautions to reduce the chances of alligator incidents:

• Keep a safe distance if you see an alligator. If someone is concerned about an alligator, it should resort to the FWC-free FWC-shaler telephone line at 866-FWC-owner (866-392-4286), and a contracted alligator trap will be sent to resolve the situation.
• Keep the pets at the leash and away from the water edge. Pets often resemble the natural prey of alligators.
• Swim only in swimming areas designated during the day and without your pet. The alligators are the most active between twilight and dawn.
• Never feed an alligator. Is illegal and dangerous. When fed, alligators can lose their natural war and, in return, learn to associate people with the availability of food. This can lead to an alligator to become a peacock and must be removed from the wild.
