There are plenty of 'gators inland as long as there is some water

Actually, I was thinking inland like... Orlando


Like Wayne says, they are everywhere.




Now that seems to be, but stands to reason....


There's a creek way way down the St. John's River from where it empties
into the ocean at Mayport. I think it is called Black Creek. Pretty
place, winding creek, and absolutely full of gators. Full of bass and
other fresh water fish. Unfortunately, full of jetskiers, too, at least
when we lived in the area. There were those who wished a few of the
jetskiers would fall into the water in the creek and provide the gators
with lunch. I don't recall reading that it ever happened, though.
