How many alligators are in Osprey Lake?
The number of alligators in any lake can dramatically change in short periods of time. When we first moved to Osprey Lakes, we were from out-of-state and unaware of how prevalent alligators are. We foolishly asked the DR Horton home sellers if they knew if any alligators were in Osprey Lakes. Of course they gave us a vague response because they knew that alligators are in virtually every lake in Florida. In 2004, a 9-foot 4-inch alligator was removed from Osprey Lake (photos). As of May 2006, residents have reported seeing four sizable alligators in Osprey Lake. Presumably there are more that are good at staying out of sight.
