Dianne M. - Official Reptile of the State of Florida - the American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) - once hunted almost to extinction - it has become populous enough - that hunts can be held [ yes, they call it a 'harvest' ] - but, you have to have over $1,000 to participate - that should weed out some - when alligators no longer are afraid of humans - that is when they become dangerous - it is against the law to feed them - how can they tell the hand-that-feeds-them - from another human? - there are many interesting [ and scary articles on the internet ] - IF you live here, you know to respect these creatures - who have been here way before we were born - shall be here long after we are gone - if you are going to visit our State - these are wild animals - now, seriously - look at the collage above - you really want to get up close and make friends with this ? © All rights reserved [ is this better, Dianne M.? ]
