I swim in the ocean but if we see schools of fish or sea turtles we get out because sharks eat them. Also if you see dolphins you should get out because they hunt the same fish as the sharks so they're probably around too. I'm not really afraid of the alligators. They've always left me alone. My Grandma lived on a lake that was filled with them. We saw them all of the time but they don't want anything to do with humans really. We do have a problem here now though.....people feeding the alligators. When that happens the gator starts associated people with food and then you start getting your attacks. We also have a python problem now. People have been getting them as pets and then letting them go in the Everglades when they get too big. Nothing in the Everglades preys on them so they are taking over and are very dangerous and putting an end to some species. Recently they found and trapped one that was 17 ft long and pregnant with 87 eggs!
