As gator mating season in Florida comes to a close, male alligators become more active and territorial, leading to more human encounters. Brandon Fisher, a gator expert, emphasized the need for caution around any body of water in the state, noting that Florida has the largest population of wild alligators in the United States, with an estimated one to two million alligators. In early May, a woman was killed when her canoe passed over an alligator in shallow water at Tiger Creek on Lake Kissimmee.
