Alligators are a natural species in Florida, including our Lakeshore Ranch community. Unless the alligator shows signs of aggression, they should be left alone because when one is removed, often another one will come in and take its place. While the first sighting of an alligator may be startling to some, it's possible to live in harmony with alligators by following a few simple steps. This short video from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) explains these steps and what to do should removal be necessary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxoSB9Ka4ec
