any moms live in Florida? we were thinking of visiting in April but when the little boy was killed by the alligator everyone was saying Florida was known for alligators and that they are EVERYWHERE is that true? we were thinking Miami for our trip I just don't want to be terrified of the alligators my entire trip
Agree with @mommy763, you're more likely to be stung by a jellyfish if you go to a beach as opposed to ever seeing a gator in saltwater.
Girl Hawaii will have issues too, anytime you're going into the ocean you'll be presented with problems. 😂 like someone else said jetskis will likely scare anything away but typically alligators, sharks and marine life period won't attack you unless provoked.
well alligators are a freshwater species , they don't like salt water so there are no alligator in the ocean. if you are staying in Orlando, I went Clearwater Beach near Tampa it is a beautiful beach! just stick to the beaches near the coast, Clearwater is a little over an hour drive from Orlando
I just got back from my week long vacation in Florida. I went to the beach every single day and didn't ever have any problems :) the beaches set out flags each day and they look out for wildlife. So if there were to be any, you wouldn't be allowed in the water. :)
Alligators are everywhere in Florida but typically they won't attack humans. What happened with the kid was just a freak accident. We used to raise alligators and whenever going into anybody of water (especially in the southern states) you should heed caution. They've even been found in some swimming pools though typically you can see them in that case.
Yes I've seen it in discover channel lol Florida has a lot of swamps
we were planning to stay at a hotel but did want to visit the beach @mommy763
I'm so scared, I love in St louis we only see alligators at the zoo @babes101116
I don't live in Florida but I visited Orlando, Tampa and Miami with my two year old back in March and did not see one alligator. I know they are there though choose to stay at a hotel instead of resort hotel they are less expensive anyways.
The noise will probably scare them away
True. Ponds lakes rivers and pools.
Just found out we are having a boy!
We were thinking..

Just when we thought we were done hearing about it.
So My coworker does not get vaccinated for anything due to religious practices and she’s worried about our job making it mandatory since they discussed it earlier this week. It’s crazy how when vaccines even started or came about we were told it would be voluntary but now it’s mandatory and people need a verification card to go certain places. We even have certain states doing lottery drawings just to make people get it. people shouldn’t fear losing their jobs or having to go against their relig...
I lived in west palm beach for 6 months and never saw an alligator. I would be cautious but I wouldn't not go to florida due to the fear of alligators. plus, anywhere you go there's plenty of dangers
