How do alligators interact with humans?

Alligators typically avoid human interaction, as they are naturally wary of people. However, encounters can occur, especially in areas where their habitats overlap with human activities, such as Golf courses or residential neighborhoods near water bodies. In some cases, alligators may become habituated to humans due to feeding or baiting, which can increase the risk of aggressive behavior. It is essential for people to maintain a safe distance and avoid feeding alligators to prevent dangerous interactions.
