FWC: Man injured after being bitten by alligator in Seminole County lake

Southwest Florida supports one of the healthiest alligator populations in the state due to its warm climate, shallow freshwater basins, and consistent access to food and shelter. These animals play a crucial ecological role by maintaining wetland structure, influencing prey populations, and creating habitat used by fish, birds, and amphibians. Their behavior near residential areas reflects long-standing instinct rather than aggression. Alligators are drawn to the edges of canals for warmth, visi

Believe it or not people exaggerate Alligator Attacks & Fatalities in the United States. According to the Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission (FWC) Alligators have only caused 31 Deaths since 1948 (corrected from the video). The total number of attacks (fatal/non-fatal) is 498 since 1948. If on average domestic violence causes 200 fatalities every single year that means that since 1948 there have been around 15,000 fatalities. So instead of fearing the beautiful American Alligator you should fear

Florida has 1.3 million alligators. What to know about gator hunting season, trapping permits

American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) are ecosystem engineers, and are also considered a keystone species. An ecosystem engineer is an organism that creates, significantly modifies, maintains, or destroys a habitat. A keystone species is an organism on which other species in an ecosystem largely depend, and if the keystone species were removed, the ecosystem would change drastically. With Tropical Depression Fred heading our way, we thought it would be a perfect time to introduce you

FWC's new 'special' alligator permit adds 8 weeks to hunt, allows hunting in more zones

Surveys for Sportfish Throughout the year, our biologists conducted snorkel surveys for striped bass and sunshine bass in Silver Glen Springs. Surveys are most frequent in the summer, when Silver Glen Springs is home to one of the largest aggregations of these species in the St. Johns River system. These temperate bass cannot handle the high water temperatures of the main river during the summer and congregate around spring boils that serve as cool thermal refuges. Because of the fantastic water
