When we're outside, a large alligator will swim across the pond up to edge of my yard and watch us. Is this aggressive behavior or curious behavior from the alligator? Our backyard is on a pond and we have a fenced yard. It will even move from one end of the yard to the other when the dogs are favoring one side of our yard.

Can alligators get rabies and if so does it make them extra bitey? submitted by /u/MallOpposite [link] [comments]

Rivers,Swamps,Lakes) I still have no idea why there couldn't be alligators in our water? I'm fishing a lot, and recently I was sitting half inside the water thinking to myself that ppl in Florida can't just do that. They got giagantic reptiles in the same kinda water. there's pretty cold winter's and still gators.

Sharks in the water may be a given in some places; alligators too. But in New York City, they’re not thought of as common, which is why it was such a shock when an alligator was found and saved from a lake in Brooklyn last month.

I am, of course, referring to Alligator mississippiensis , more commonly known as the American Alligator , or, colloquially, as gators. Though alligator attacks are rare they do happen. According to Wikipedia : Alligators are capable of killing humans, but are generally wary enough not to see them as a potential prey.

Long-legged wading birds (Pelecaniformes and Ciconiiformes) actively choose nesting sites above resident American alligators ( Alligator mississippiensis ), apparently to take advantage of the protection from mammalian nest predators that alligator presence offers.

When I was reading up on Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge and realized that it is supposed to be the easiest place on the east coast to see Black Bears I was pretty excited. But, somehow, I never had much luck with seeing bears. Turned out that turning into the dump was the best move I made all day!

I know that there are certain animals like frogs, capybaras, alligators, beavers and turtles that live on both land and water. Apologies for the weirdly worded title. If any of these animals were put into a place where they had access only to drinking water, but no body of water to swim in, does this jeopardize their ability to survive?

Gators can have fun, alligators aren't stupid, they can have fun as they along with other crocodilians will give each other piggy back rides, one alligator was seen repeatingly throwing a foot ball that landed in his pond, and another was playing with river otters.

A giant alligator lolled near a pond, herons and egrets stalked the shallow mudflats for prey, Black Skimmers flew low over the surface of the water to scoop up tiny fish. And I never forget to look for alligators. The highlight for me in the inland wetlands remains a Marbled Godwit , my first. The best part?

It saddens me, and I find it extremely disturbing, that a five-year old child is giddy, and his parents (and the journalists on this program) are so pleased that he killed a 35-40-year old alligator. Let's deconstruct a few details: The young boy shot the alligator, who had been trapped , in the head and killed him.

Mom became especially enraptured with the baby alligators we spotted – less than a foot long, they basked in the grass next to their mothers, or crawled atop her back and tail for extra protection. Baby alligators. I so badly wanted to spot their chicken-like forms. Cute right?

The second thing they did was to interfere with the genetic pathways in some chickens, which produced a chicken with beaky bits that were more like snouty bits found in, for example, a Alligator. However, both birds and Alligators actually use this pathway. Alligator are not birds lacking this pathway. Here’s the thing.

Anhinga sat on exposed logs, near slowly swimming alligators. I kept my ears perked up to catch errant song in the distance, but as soon as we approached they fell silent. The path may have been fun to follow, but full of birds it was not. We had better luck by the lake itself.

No, this is not Florida, but we have American Alligators in the Carolinas as well. I can’t imagine alligators are capable of expressing anything but hunger through those vertical reptilian slits though.

The University of Florida’s mascot is an alligator, but a Red-tailed Hawk is a good emblem for any transition from one phase of life to the next. Red-tailed Hawk in Flight. As I watched, a Red-tailed Hawk sailed high over the crowd, chased by a smaller but feistier American Crow.

I guess when you live with alligators, humans just don’t seem like that big of a deal. They are normally nocturnal (these photos were taken at sundown) but in Florida, they can be seen during the day. As with many Florida birds, they don’t seem to fear humans as much as other places. Presumably, that’s what happened here.

Alligators may have drawn the loudest cheers on the boat – especially from the two elementary school boys on the bench behind me – but we remained drawn to the small Pied-billed Grebes and Common Gallinules. We opted for the 12:30 p.m. Both Black and Turkey Vultures swooped overhead, occasionally upstaged by a shrieking Osprey.

And aside from the birds, there are arguably the most imposing herps in North America, American Alligators. The signs along all the ponds in this development warn of alligators and snakes which are, interestingly, precisely the sort of thing I’m interested in coming across. I will hear no argument to the contrary.

The first attracts lots of local tourists, because of the many alligators that live in its waters. Fortunately, only a few kilometers west of the urban center there are two mangrove estuaries: Barra de Santana, and Barra de Pichi. Bathing there is definitely discouraged! Barra de Pichi has fewer gators.

And while finding snails is not difficult for a long legged bird that is not afraid to wade into alligator-infested marshes it is difficult to extract the yummy snail meat from its protective shell. That is, they eat snails of the genus Pomacea to the exclusion of all else, provided the snails are available.

Alligator on nest. ADM’s proximity to existing water and wildlife management areas, its location far from existing transit lines and public services, and the plans for the 20 year expansion of the Graham Companies properties are all certain to spur the rapid, westward growth of the County.

Brown water limits visibility, but I know that a ton of fish species call this river home, not to mention the alligators. These river areas of Northwest Florida always strike me as mysterious. The surface was so calm that it reflected perfectly the foliage above, in form if not in color.

The Golden Eagles at Alligator River NWR were soaring elsewhere. The Iceland Gull at Wanchese was a no-show. The Yellow-crowned Night-Heron on the Nags Head causeway was tucked away. The Little Gulls at Jeanette’s Pier were out to sea. I ended up stuck at 198 for the time being, but it was so bad.

While I enjoyed the view of alligators and Double-crested Cormorants from the nearby fishing pier, I quickly walked away to distance myself from the blasting country music. Mac Lake is the park’s focal point, a long body of water set in cattails and other reeds. Tricolored Heron looking for lunch.

An alligator makes an aggressive but half-hearted lunge for a group of dabbling Blue-winged and Green-winged Teals. Nearly every species of heron and egret in North America forage only feet away, some of them in their dazzling breeding displays. A lone Merlin watches the proceedings as a Sora darts by underneath our feet.
