So, people say that for an alligator's safety, it should always fear humans. I understand, but although Buddy is not afraid of me, he doesn't trust me fully AND he has stranger anxiety. He is afraid of everyone but my family. I am very glad about this. When he wanders off, he won't be harmed by someone else (at least I hope not). It is illegal to harm alligators in Florida, but I don't trust humans, either.
