@SSNBubblehead I used to work for the Jekyll Island State Park, Georgia in the '80s. 2½ golf courses, ~5 dozen gators, >1M visitors/year. It seemed there was at least one "incident" per year involving drunk, wannabe Crocodile Dundee's, and a yappy, unleashed kickme dog or two..
@SSNBubblehead Here in coastal North Carolina, alligators are common sights on the golf courses. This one even checked out my back patio.
