Most encounters here happen in developed neighborhoods that have retention ponds to catch runoff from rains. Gators love these ponds, stupid people feed them, so the gators don't just lose their fear of people because they become used to seeing them, they learn to associate food with people. Then come the people who walk their dogs right at the water's edge or just hang around there themselves, all crocodilians' natural hunting area. When I'm kayaking I hate being anywhere that people frequent on shore because who knows who's been feeding the gators, but swimming in any fresh water is an absolute no no, that's their home.

No argument about that here and the crocs there are more aggressive than gators and crocs here.

They are ambush predators, they cant help it. Taking prey off land is spectacular to watch but very rare (there are literally billions of fish for these monsters to eat). But if you walk past their hiding spot, they will snap at you.
'gators freak me out how they will sit in a water hole until it is bone dry and they just look like the dried mud,
