Florida man has arm amputated after alligator attack
An alligator attack left a Florida man amputated, missing his arm from the elbow down, officials said.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said they were called just before 2 a.m. Sunday about a gator attack at Lake Monroe.
Lauren Claerbout with FWC said attacks like this are uncommon.
맥스카지노Alligators are naturally very wary of people, they맥스카지노re not really looking to harm us in most cases... A lot of cases with alligator bites, a lot of times it맥스카지노s a case of mistaken identity,맥스카지노 Claerbout said.
Claerbout said gators don맥스카지노t usually go after people unless they mistake them for food, especially if they맥스카지노ve been fed by humans in the past.
맥스카지노When they맥스카지노re fed, alligators lose their natural weariness of people and instead they learn to associate people with the availability of food,맥스카지노 she said.
Those walking near Lake Monroe on Tuesday said they맥스카지노ve seen many gators in the lake, but have never had any issues.
맥스카지노I mean it맥스카지노s just one of those things you got to look out for living in Florida. They맥스카지노re all over the place,맥스카지노 someone passing by said.
With an estimated 1.3 million gators in Florida, Claerbout advises to only swim in designated areas and in daylight hours, since gators are more active at night.
If a gator attacks, she said to fight back.
맥스카지노We hear all the time that the eyes are a sensitive area so poking the alligator in the eyes might release its bite,맥스카지노 Claerbout said.
