Man found dead in gator-filled lake in Florida

The Largo Police Department said in an email that the unidentified man was looking for Frisbees and other flying discs in the water and a gator was involved. The commission said a contracted specialist was working to remove an alligator from the lake "and efforts will be made to determine if it was involved in this situation. Alligators are found almost everywhere in Florida where there is any kind of water. The wildlife officials stress that no one should approach a wild alligator or feed them, because they are known as opportunistic predators that will eat just about anything that comes their way, including carrion and pets. This can be more problematic in populated areas such as apartment complexes where people walk dogs and have small children.
