23: Alligator

According to TC Palm, “from 1948 to 2021, 442 unprovoked bite incidents have occurred in Florida. 26 of the bites resulted in people being killed by wild alligators. A total of 303 people have received major injuries. 139 have received minor injuries over the same time period.”

These attacks are increasing in number, rising from an average of just one every 3 years between 1988 and 1999 to about 7 per year between the years 2000 and 2016.

I lived in Florida for years. I don’t think some people fully understood how dangerous swimming in fresh water can be. I find it interesting we live in a world where we overstate the dangerousness of sharks while downplaying the danger of alligators.
