WWBD?
They just put in the rocks at Fort Wilderness. Saw them a couple nugHts ago but didn't snap a pic. Maybe tomorrow.
As of yesterday, same signs were in place.
And they made a gator joke on Jungle Cruise a couple nights ago, although not about snapping or looking for a hand out.

Oh no, you guys have rattlesnakes too? They're like the biggest "I'm going to sun bask in your walkway so you almost accidently step on me btw I am incredibly poisonous lolol" jerkwad snakes out there. Thank god my parents always have dogs and cats in their back yard because there were multiple times the surprise baby rattlesnake has been chilling where my parents walk.

Here's the latest: http://www.news4jax.com/news/florida/new-details-released-in-fatal-disney-gator-attack
And here's the final report: https://www.scribd.com/document/321898336/Final-Investigative-Report-on-Lane-Graves#from_embed
Apparently, father and son were building a sandcastle at the water's edge.

Here's what's heartbreaking about all this: According to the report, the attack occurred at "approximately 2100 hours" (9:00 pm).
But beforehand, an alligator (same one?) was reported at about 2015 hours (8:15pm): "Miss ____ [name in report. Not relevant here] was on the beach at approximately 2015 hours with her two daughters, ages 15 and 9. The daughters saw an alligator about 5 feet from shore, near the marsh. The eldest daughter told the WDW AV/Movie Coordinator about the alligator. The person she told ran to a man whose shirt said “Coordinator” and told him about the alligator." They left and returned later to find out the attack had occurred.
If only a CM had taken action. . .

Well now that's a pity.
I know what's at stake, but I think most people would agree that the likelihood of gators popping up on that beach is far lower than at the Bay lake resorts.
Guests wouldn't know this, of course.
Has anyone heard of the animals being spotted in these waters?

Why would they be less likely to pop up there?

I think because there is less "natural" area around Crescent Lake as compared to Bay Lake and the 7 Seas Lagoon, alligators wouldn't feel as safe/comfortable there. (Disclaimer: There is no actual scientific / historical / analytical / or even hypothetical evidence to this statement. Just a thought that came out of the "grey stuff" between my ears.)

Alright, if they can do the rockwork in my backyard next that would be appreciated.
