The appearance of alligators in Florida streets and homes raise concern among residents.
April, 2024 - September, 2024
Reports of alligator sightings in Florida are stirring public anxiety as the reptiles continue to encroach on urban areas.
Instances of alligators found in unusual locations include residential driveways and busy highways, and highlight the growing overlap between human habitats and alligator territory.
These sightings typically increase during the alligator courtship season in April, when the animals are more likely to wander in search of mates, leading to encounters such as a 9-foot alligator being pulled over by a Florida trooper and another found under a car in a driveway.
The frequency of these sightings underscores the importance of public awareness and safety measures, especially in communities near water.
