The day was established by Wild Florida Safari Park to raise awareness of the importance of alligators to Florida’s ecosystem, as well as educate the public on all things gators, according toAlligators are in all 67 counties, but would you know what to do if you found one near your house?
According to Florida Fish and Wildlife, gators are typically more visible and active during the spring and summer months because their metabolism picks up.However, FWC said it is rare for them to cause serious injuries. If you do encounter an alligator, you should never feed it. It is not only dangerous but also illegal.
FWC reminds people to keep a safe distance from the edge of the water and make sure all pets are on a leash.If you think an alligator poses a threat to you, your family, your pet or your property, FWC does have a Statewide Nuisance Alligator Program. If you have a concern, you can call the hotline at 866-FWC-GATOR or 866-392-4286. A trapper will be sent to take care of the issue. To learn more, click here.
