When it comes to Alligators: Don't Stand So Close To Me!

Men are from Mars.  Women are from Venus.  Alligators are from 75 million years ago.  They have a brain the size of a walnut.  When they lie in the sun, they don't appear to be doing much.  But, they are doing something.  They are waiting for you.  They want you to get just a little closer.  Alligators are ambush predators.  So, when you see them, show them a little respect and keep your distance.
