Happy #GatorGossip Monday! Last week, we talked about the difference between "aggressive" and defensive alligator behavior. Defensive behavior is normal for an alligator and is something to be aware of, but it is not a cause for concern. The behaviors we are going to talk about this week, however, can lead to potential issues, and most of the time, these behaviors are taught by humans. Alligators are naturally fearful of humans and will usually flee when approached by a human. However, because a

Risky human behavior is the cause for alligator aggression, not the animal’s temperament, reports a study from the University of Florida and Center College in Kentucky. In 96% of cases studied, risky behavior or inattention from humans preceded the alligator attacks, suggesting that the animal’s aggression can be preventable. Researchers say that educating the public on how to reduce risky behavior in the animal’s habitat will decrease human-wildlife conflicts and ensure safety for both parties.

Man Approaches Too Closely, Alligator Reacts! While this behavior is unusual, an alligator might give chase if it feels threatened or cornered, especially if the person gets too close to its territory, nest, or young. Alligators may react this way if they have been fed by humans before, associating people with food and becoming more aggressive. Sometimes, during mating season, male alligators become more territorial, making them more likely to exhibit defensive behaviors like chasing intruders a

Here’s a really interesting aspect of alligator behavior! The more in a space, generally the better they get along!! It seems very counterintuitive to what you might expect, but it’s been shown that multiple gators in one area is much “safer” for them than just two! Of course, sizes and individual personalities will affect this, but when gators of roughly the same size are put together they get along much better than just two or three. Obviously you don’t want to overcrowd them either, but this
