The gators do not attack people. Small pets are what they could attack.
When I am walking the trail in my sub-division, many times I will come across a gator sunning on the banks of ponds.
As soon as I get within 15-20 feet of the gator, the creature slithers quickly into the pond. I have lost my fear of gators.
