No. The American Alligator is not like it's aggressive cousin, the Crocodile. Alligators are ambushers while crocs are hunters. You don't resemble food, so they will most likely leave you alone.

My daughter found one in her apartment in Milledgeville which backs onto a wooded area.  I found this information for her.  She was not pleased about the part where they fall on the bed at night!\n\nScorpions \n\nPrice, Terry. Forest Health Guide for Georgia Foresters. Georgia Forestry Commission. Fall 2001.\n\nScorpions are nocturnal and are rarely seen by people unless they invade the home. Scorpions often invade houses built in wooded areas. The little southern devil scorpion is a common species throughout the South (Figure 210). It is not a dangerous species but it can be very annoying by invading attics, closets, cabinets, and vacation cabins and utility buildings. Reports are common of scorpions falling from ceilings at night onto beds with sleeping people.\n\nScorpions can be discouraged from taking up residence \ninside homes and rental cabins by keeping the yards and areas adjacent to the buildings clear of wood piles and other debris. Most stings from scorpions usually occur when people walk barefoot through the house at night or working outside without gloves.\nStings from scorpions in the southeastern U.S. are not life threatening and usually require no medical attention, unless the victim happens to be sensitive to the venom.

Hi,\nI dont think so... Ducks are amphibians (I think). That means they can live both on land and water. But they are primarily land creatures. I mean they cant go swimming forever can they?\nDucks can be found on small lakes too. Not neccessarily marshes.\nNo, I dont think all rivers have marshes. There is a river here in our town. It doesnt have marshes...

I can solve three problems.  \n\n1.  The border is too open\n2.  New Orleans is below sea level\n3.  Alligators in Florida are a threat.\n\n1.  Build a moat at the border\n2.  Use the soil to raise the level of New Orleans\n3.  Put alligators from Florida in the moat.

My dream directory says; Alligators, these animals symbolise a cunning enemy or obstacle to your progress, being attacked by or approached by one means that you are insecure and have a fear of an impeding situation or people, if there are more than one of these reptiles in your dream, beware of new ventures or business dealings, to dream of insects means something is bugging you in real life, fairies represent wishful thinking..

what do you need to know?\n\nthey are widest down south, and get narrow up north (as the mountains get closer to the sea).\n\nalong the sea, they are lined with inlets and wetlands that are prime bird migration habitats, and were easily linked to form the Intracoastal Waterway.

Don't take folks advice here....go to the State and read and understand the laws in Georgia yourself......\n\n\nhttp://georgiawildlife.dnr.state.ga.us/content/displaynavigation.asp?TopCategory=2

Southern born, Southern bred. Lived in the south all my life, wouldn't go any where else. Georgia is my home state, now I live in Louisiana. I love it here because I was raised only a few miles from a popular swamp. Florida claims it, but it doesn't belong to them. I get the impression that maybe you live in the wrong town.  Look carefully because weather and cost of living can be bad in other places.

Sometimes I think about that while swimming in a pool. Creepy, even though I know there shouldn't be a problem. Also, there probably aren't any sharks in Lake Erie.

If it wasn't for the revenue from licences and the vigilance of fishermen our rivers would be in a state. How much time do the antis spend near the water, how much knowledge do they have of aquatic life and what are they doing to keep rivers and ponds maintained. I've been in a syndicate before, the lake was dug on an old grass-track racing track. The lake is teeming with life, we maintained it and paid particular attention ti the wildlife that we were keen to attract to the water, from insects up to water birds and even mammals such as the water vole which is supposed to be extremely rare. Pffft I've seen them every time I visited the lake. Anglers can also recognise the first signs of disease and nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand.\n\nWhat next? Ban fly spray?

I think the law varies from state to state. Paddling is no longer allowed in many states but there are some states where it is still legal - mainly Texas and the Deep South.

most likely fish, or another animal that lives in water, perhaps an early reptile

There is no "The' prehistoric alligator. There were numerous species of prehistoric alligator just as there are several species alive today. \n\nWhich extinct alligator did you have on mind? If any old species will do then Diplocynodon ratelii is as good a name as any other.

If it gets close enough, yes.  I don't think Alligators are very picky eaters.

I once caught a Garfish in South Carolina that had to be over 12 inches in length. It was when I was a little kid, many years ago. In a boat with my Uncle (now deceased) in some swamp down there. Maybe it was Georgia, don't remember, but it was ugly, and they were easy to catch.\n\nI also remember a BIG spider was on a tree too, but that has nothing to do with this question. Just rambling...
