Yes! In east Texas and Louisiana, you can hear the gators on the ZOOM near any water this time of year.

I spent 10 minutes on the ranch of my first Florida client before I realized I had changed countries with no passport needed.

We live in a highly developed area of Jacksonville, in a subdivision, and there are alligators in the shallow creek under the bridge over the main road our subdivision feeds off of.

There's a city park less than 10 minutes from our house that fronts the St. Johns River & also has a small pond. Last year there was a juvenile alligator swimming around in the pond.

Fish & Wildlife monitors alligator reports & traps and removes them when they get to be a potential problem.

The golf course at Naval Air Station Jacksonville has signs posted at/near water hazards, warning there are alligators in the area.

We jokingly refer to all the detention ponds as "gator ponds."

Bottom line: In Florida, any body of water, no matter how shallow, may have alligators in it.
