Author at St. Augustine Alligator Farm getting the Ultimate Experience photo shoot, the closest to acting irresponsibly she had in her photos. – credit Cindy Steinle
In what the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) calls “groundbreaking research study” it has been determined that alligators are not the aggressors in the attacks that occur on humans but rather risky human behavior that cause the attacks.
Color us herpers SHOCKED! Absolutely STUNNED! Yes, that is sarcasm. Anywho, from the study:
Our ranking system indicated that 96% (26% low risk, 48% moderate risk, 22% high risk) of the recorded human–alligator incidents reviewed were caused by some level of human inattention in the form of risky behaviors, often while participating in recreational water activities. These results highlight the need for increased and targeted public education concerning safe and responsible human activities in areas inhabited by alligators. By making a conscious effort to implement proactive and preventative safety measures, human injury and death as well as the needless destruction of alligators can be reduced.
You can read the full study here and their blog post about it here.
Despite my sarcasm, this can lead to better efforts in helping protect our wild populations putting the blame rather than on the animal, directly on the person. This can also lead to better public education efforts on how to approach waterways and share our world with our cold blooded friends, not only our alligators but also other reptiles. If we can educate respect at one level, we can work out way down through the food chain! Hopefully this study helps with that for future generations. …read more

Late last session, Rep Betty McCollum (MN) introcuded a bill to ” “To amend the Animal Welfare Act to include cold-blooded species as animals, and for other purposes.” That bill died with the close of the last session, but this week she reintroduced as HR2976 and we can only guess that it will have the same wording.
The nitty gritty from the USARK Web Alert is:
This bill, which should be identical to last session’s introduction, adds reptiles, amphibians, fish, and cephalopods as “animals” under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), meaning the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) must develop new regulations. Basically, the USDA would now be required to license and inspect facilities and breeders with these animals. Businesses would need to comply with the new USDA regulations. The USDA began inspecting and licensing aviculturists (bird breeders) in 2024 (for new licensees). The bill has been assigned to the House Agriculture Committee. We will post more information when available.
You can find the wording of the original bill here. While we are unsure of the wording exactly of the new bill, this gives a good guess as to what will come. As always, you know there is strength in numbers, so be sure to join and keep up with our friends at USARK. …read more

In a very cool observation, two adult crocodilians were caught in a bit of a spat over who got the best basking spot. In the only place that you can find both American Alligators and American Crocodiles, two adults decides to have a little battle of fist-i-mouths..
Bonachea believed they were fighting over a basking spot.
“The alligator goes into the water and leaves the immediate vicinity in defeat, and the croc gets her nice sunny spot to bask in the sun,”
