[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Story on the radio about an alligator holding a family hostage in Hilton Head requiring hours of local authorities time before it finally moved away.

Why not kill that one gator?

Because they rarely cause any problems. The gator did not hold anyone hostage. It was on their porch and left after everyone turned out the lights. Alligator move around at night specially if it rains. Looks like this one went the wrong way and got stuck on the porch. All the lights kept it there and it was a big show. It did not follow the people to the house or even know people where there.

They are just not that aggressive and they do not see people as food. I have been around them a lot as a little kid through adulthood. M[b]ost of the time they just sit there and will move into the water if you get close. [/b] The only time there are problem is when people feed the gator. It looks cool and people have fun but an alligator that has been feed will follow people around looking for food. These alligators have been conditioned to go after any splash around people because they think it is food. [/quote]

because they are ambush predators.......they are always hunting. stop with foolishness. [/quote]
