    There may have been a fence between us, but it was not a good one. It was sitting behind a restaurant waiting on some food

  • Nope.

    I've spent only a little time in Florida and Louisiana, and didn't stumble across any gators during my visits. To be fair, that wasn't high on my agenda, though. Perhaps some day. I have some friends in Florida again, so maybe I'll be heading there for a vacation soon, and then, who knows? LOL.

  • Lots of times while playing golf. They are all over several of the South Florida Golf Courses that I play at.

  • No, we don’t have alligators here. I’ve never seen one in real life.

  • Of course. I live in Florida.

  • Plenty of times, couple of big mfers too...

  • Don't have any here in South Carolina that I know of, just poisonous snakes.

  • From time to time I encounter alligators & on sunny days I even see them when I look out my kitchen window. I have a pond I share with eight of my neighbors.

  • Just caymans. They're related but smaller.

  • No I've never encountered a gator.

  • Yep. My sons and I were playing golf in Florida and one son's ball ended up next to a log. As he approached the ball to hit it, the log moved. It was a gator, basking in the sun. He quickly dropped a new ball several feet away and hit his shot.

  • AND IT BELLOWEDDDDDAH!

    • That’s a cool sound! Love to hear it when I’m in my kayak out on the water

    • @Charliefretz329 RIPPLES!

    • Lol like a giant frog

  • I've pulled them out of the road by the tail. Rescued snapping turtles, too.

  • nope, other than in a zoo.
    It's a bit too cold here in the great white north for gators.
    They would freeze solid.
    ! more reason I live where the cold hurts my face.

  • Yeah I've seen them from far , never dared to get close!

  • Nope, and when I went to Florida I actually went looking for one

  • Not wild, per se, but in a botanical garden in Florida. We threw sticks at it. It ran into the stream and freaked us out. It wasn't fully grown

  • I think so, kind of. It was a tour thing but nothing like a full on zoo or safari. Just some houses and guys with boats.

  • No. We don't have gators here up north

  • I think they will find you if they’re around

  • In the Everglades on the board walk trail he was laying right there

    • Yep! I’ve been there and they are right next to you no barrier. And they walked right through the park! 🙂

    • It’s was an awesome place to visit
