FWC tips to stay safe with alligators

What you can do:

  • If you come across an alligator that is assumed that he is a threat to people, pets or property, call the disturbing alligator hotline of the FWC under 1-866 -FWC gator (392-4286). The nationwide disturbing alligator program (SNAP) of the FWC uses contracted fault alligator trappers in the entire state to remove alligators with a length of 4 feet with a length of 4 feet, which are believed to be a threat.
  • Pay attention to the possible presence of alligators in or near fresh or brackish water. Negative encounters with Alligator can occur if people do not pay close attention to their surroundings when working or near water.
  • Tuise the children carefully when they play in or around water.
  • Never swim outside the posted swimming areas.
  • Only swim in daylight. Alligators are most active between dusk and dawn.
  • Do not let the pets swim, train or drink in or near waters that can contain alligators or in designated swimming areas with people. Dogs are more susceptible to bitten than people because dogs resemble the natural prey of alligators. The sound of dogs that bark and play can move an alligator to the area.
  • Never feed or seduce alligators – it is dangerous and illegal. When feeding, alligators overcome their natural caution and associate people with food.
  • Inform others that feeding alligators is illegal and creates problems for others who want to reproduce themselves in or near the water.
  • Dispose of fish residues in dockets on boat ramps and fish bearings – do not throw them into the water. Although in this case you do not deliberately feed alligators, the result can be the same.
  • Observe and photograph alligators only from a safe distance. Remember you are an important part of Florida's natural history and an integral part of fresh water ecosystems.
  • Leave alligators alone. The state law prohibits killing, harassment or possession of alligators, except for permission.
  • Never remove an alligator from its natural habitat or accept one as a pet. It is illegal and dangerous to do this. Dealing with even small alligators can lead to injuries.
  • If an alligator bites it, it is best to defend yourself and deliver as much noise and resistance as possible. If you hit or step on the alligator or nude in his eyes, it can lead to it releasing his handle.
  • When alligators use prey that you cannot easily overwhelm, you often get rid of and withdraw.
  • Find immediate medical help when bitten by an alligator. Alligator bites often lead to serious infection.
