Alligator season’s in full swing 🐊

They’re exploring, dating, and showing up in new places after it rains.

Spot one? Stay calm and keep 30+ feet away.

Never feed them. Report anyone who does.

Avoid swimming or fishing where gators are active, and keep kids + pets close.

Don’t harass them. A threatened gator can move fast 😬

Give gators plenty of space and avoid the drama. More details in the link in the comments 👇
