Guides In Keeping Yourself Safe During An Alligator Tour

By Christine King


Alligators are the crocodilian reptiles with black color or dark brown one for most adults and have white undersides. There is no known record about their average lifespan while they are native only to China and United States. They live in environments with freshwater like lakes, wetlands, ponds, swamps, rivers and marshes and plant diversity is increased with holes they made.

They also improve the ecology by feeding on animals that can cause severe damage to these areas like coastal wetlands being grazed by coypu and muskrat. You could go to Louisiana alligator tour and look for these reptiles and other animals living there. The following are various guides in keeping yourself safe from alligators while enjoying the trip.

They are normally afraid of humans though feeding them with food other than their natural prey will make them seek people out instead. So feeding them is not allowed so keep your food instead to yourself so they would not approach anyone or destroy the natural habits they have. This applies also for other animals in the area.

Be careful when mating season happens, during months of spring and summer, as they do unusual things and be somewhat edgy. They leave their territories only at this time in search for females which makes larger alligators more frequent in places they normally not go. Just leave them alone, ignore them or give them space.

Keep your distance because they could move fast even if they seem to look lazy and slow while lounging at their spot. You are too close when they hiss or lunge at you so stay away for at least sixty feet from them. Do not disturb their nest or their babies because their mom is ready always nearby to protect them.

Their habitats have refreshing and cool areas of water that can entice anybody to swim when they ride on a boat. But if you could not see your arms, feet and legs then avoid swimming there because there may be nearby alligators. Stick instead to shallow crystal clear waters because these places are safer.

Be careful when you fish near their habitat because alligators would try and grab that hooked fish which can caught them in your line. Avoid fishing in areas near the water edge with heavy vegetation where they prefer to stay. Catching them with a line is dangerous and is not something you would want as you could get dragged down.

If you like taking your pet dogs when boating or fishing in these areas, keep them on leash specially when you disembark the boat. This is to prevent them from running off alone particularly during mating seasons where they can become prey. And it would put you in danger also when chasing them as you may not notice your surroundings well and disturb the animals.

Plan the trip in these places with an advance booking at nearby hotels or cottages including the available rental boats. Others offer guided tours only for sightseeing the animals living in the diverse habitat. Check their reviews in advance from previous customers of the tours.
