How do you identify a happy 'gator? Do Florida 'gators attack humans as
saltwater crocodiles do?

Hey, Richard ... Did'ya ever think that a 15 ft blue kayak might look
"awful sexy" to a 12 footer ?   He may have dove off the bank to wash off
some mud so he could make a good first impression !  I read recently that
the sale of alligator meat has exceeded the sale of hides.   Eye have
eaten them, but eye've not caught or prepared them.  One foot or twelve
foot ...eye LEAVE'EM ALONE !   8-)

Sure, but not too often. Actually, that "looked happy" was
tongue-in-cheek. I would have gotten out at another place if one had been
available. I didn't linger long with my feet in the water, either.
