How dangerous are alligators?
You dont want to mess with them. Theyll get where people feed them and theyll get real aggressive and you dont want to fool with them. . . . This time of year the female alligators have built a nest. She deposits her eggs and she builds up a mound of twigs and leaves, and the decomposition with the leaves and stuff will make that like a natural incubator and the eggs will eventually hatch out. Shes real aggressive when you get around her young. Their survival rate is about 10 percent because they are so small and they dont have any type of defense. They have no sharp teeth. Bass will eat them, birds will eat them, raccoons will eat them. Anything thats out here is their natural enemy. If they can make it for the first year or two years after that they get a good size and youre not going to fool with them. Are there turkeys out here? Yes, we have turkeys. You dont see many turkeys on this end of the lake (South Shore), but over at the Calliham State Park there are quite a few turkeys. H
