I have been driving through a lot of water and a baby Alligator swam across the street in front of me. They lounge around on people's property on the island. I didn't see them much in Wilmington but more on or around the islands.
If they get to be a certain size or found in public areas, they are removed and relocated to a safe spot for them. But if you go wondering around bogs and ponds and swamps, beware. Image
Oh and a Alligator can run 30mph and leap like a frog. You can't outrun them, but they can't turn easily, so you have to run diagonally away or sideways to get away from them. But generally speaking they are timid and don't like human contact, so they run from you or hide in the water. But I would not depend on that. ImageImage

It's getting warmer so I doubt I will be doing much exploring. We have 4 poisonous snakes here: Eastern Diamondback Rattlers, cotton mouths, Coral snakes and water moccosans. We also have wild boars, black Panthers, Black bears, wild dogs and then there is hunting season. Image
I saw this guy a few weeks ago. Image He is not poisonous. The locals call this type Champ. He is black but green looking like algie. He is thin but longer than you think.
Let's just say if I go for a hike, I will stay on the path. but unless I have a gun, I doubt I will be exploring much. ImageImage
