Alligator herd caught on video in Florida!
A Florida family got the surprise of a lifetime when they spotted an alligator herd while out on a boat. The video, shot by the family, shows dozens of alligators swimming around in a large circle.
The footage was captured on April 14th in Lake Toho, just outside of Orlando. The Orlando Sentinel reports that locals often spot the alligators in the area this time of year as they move around in search of warmer temperatures.
While it's definitely unusual to see so many alligators together in one place, it's not unheard of - and definitely not something to fear. In fact, alligators are actually quite shy animals and will typically avoid humans whenever possible.
Florida woman attacked by alligator while walking her dog!
A woman in Florida was attacked by an alligator while she was walking her dog last week. The woman, who has not been identified, suffered severe injuries to her leg and hand, according to officials from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).
The attack occurred on Wednesday, May 8th, at around 9:45 am. The woman was walking her dog near a golf course in Sunrise when she was attacked by an alligator. Her dog ran away during the attack, but it was later found safe.

Texas family's pet alligator found dead in pond!
The average person in Texas probably wouldn't bat an eye if they happened to see a five-foot alligator swimming around in a nearby pond, but for one family in the Lone Star State, that alligator posed a very real danger.
The family's pet alligator, which was kept in a large pond on their property, was found dead last week. The gator's body was discovered floating in the pond and had apparently died from drowning.
It's not clear how the alligator ended up in the water, but officials believe it may have been chasing after some of the family's ducks. The pond is also home to several large fish, so it's possible that the alligator got tangled up in some of the weeds and drowned.
This isn't the first time an alligator has been found dead in a Texas pond. In fact, gators are often killed by drowning when they get stuck in ponds or lakes that don't have enough free-flowing water to keep them afloat.
While it's sad to lose a pet alligator, these incidents can be preventable by taking some simple precautions. For starters, make sure your alligator has plenty of room to swim around and isn't confined to a small pool or enclosure. You should also check your pond regularly for signs of overcrowding or entanglement, and remember to never feed alligators anything other than wild animal food.
Alligator spotted roaming streets of Miami!
Residents of Miami were alarmed to see an alligator roaming the streets on Wednesday. The alligator was approximately four feet long and was seen in the Wynwood neighborhood.
This is not the first time an alligator has been spotted in Miami. In July, an alligator was spotted in a lake in Miami's Freedom Park. In that incident, a trapper was called in to capture the alligator.
While it is not illegal to own an alligator in Florida, it is illegal to let one roam free in public. Alligators can be up to 15 feet long and weigh over 500 pounds. They are capable of causing serious injuries to humans.
If you see an alligator wandering around in your neighborhood, do not attempt to capture it yourself. Instead, call animal control or the police.
