Well, we get a few gator attacks in Florida, but less often in the swamps and everglades of Louisiana and South Carolina. Most of the time dogs are eaten, and people just sometimes. The attacks are usually near lakes and ponds, but also near homes and in swimming pools where some gators dare to hunt.

Plus, I don't think the gators grow as large as they used to in the US. 1st - more people have settled into areas where gators used to rule. 2nd - folks that buy boas and pythons often release their 'pets' into the wild when they grow too big. But as a result, conservationists have found that Burmese pythons quickly devour the crocs and other fresh water wild life. The pythons can breed & hatch 100 or more little 'killas' each time. Florida has conservationists that are ordered to catch and kill ALL pythons.
