Why Most Gator Attacks Happen

Turns out, almost every alligator bite is actually our fault. Researchers dug into centuries of data and found that 96% of gator attacks involved people doing something risky—like swimming where gators live or poking around their habitats. Just being near the water? Rarely a problem. The wild part: most fatal bites happened after people made really risky moves. Moral of the story? Most gator bites can be avoided if we just chill and pay attention. Save yourself (and the gators) by not tempting fate! #WildlifeSafety #AlligatorFacts #StaySafe #Conservation #Science
