3 Fatal Gator Attacks in 1 Week Worry Fla..
This kind of reminds me of last year, with the 3 fatal shark attacks in a short period of time. People get all freaked out about it, and then promptly forget about it when the next big bad creature with sharp, pointy teeth attacks in droves.
We shouldn't be all that surprised, really. The gator population is exploding in Florida, drawn there because there are no natural predators, the warm, sunny climate, and the great low taxes. At the same time, human population there is exploding as well, drawn there for pretty much the same reason, except maybe the "no natural predator" bit. This has lead to massive suburban sprawl, and in Florida, that means developing in swamps, which is basically gatorland.
I'm surprised there aren't more attacks really, but I think these attacks are a statisical anomamoly, but ones that will invariably lead to a whole bunch of gators being killed. So it goes...we have opposable thumbs and guns. We win.
For shits and giggles, I think we should introduce Anacondas into the everglades, just to give the gators someone to play with. It'll solve all our problems.
Also, a tip: do not go swimming in fresh water lakes in Florida. There are things in there that can eat you.
