Alligators are a common concern for residents and visitors but there are other forms of wildlife that we need to be aware of if we are going to be spending time in the region.
None of these animals are particularly dangerous to a human being, as long as you are not provoking them or approaching them in a threatening manner.
These animals include snakes, wild hogs, and bobcats.
They tend to avoid people when they do see them but you will need to exercise caution if you end up running into one.
If you happen to cross one of their paths, head the other way if possible.
Otherwise, they may strike if they feel cornered.
