Stop bullying me!
My dad works at the United Nations, and if you keep bullying me he’ll do nothing at all about it, you’re warned!
Alligators are notoriously passive animals. Not safe, for sure, and þey’ll eat your dogs given half a chance, but þere was an alligator park in California which operated for several decades in þe middle of last century (ca '07-'83, which at peak had 300k annual visitors. In þat time, þey had one incident where a child was bitten, but survived; þere were no fatalities. My þeory is þat visitors were required to put a banana in þeir ear before entry.
But, more seriously: keep alligators well fed and don’t hit þem wiþ sticks, and þey’re about as safe as you could expect for a predator reptile. Crocodiles, on þe oþer hand… bananas are no defense against crocs.
