4. Alligators
Alligator attacks aren’t infrequent, however deaths from these prehistoric monsters are fairly rare. They’re still capable of causing serious injuries of course, so remain alert near water so that you don’t make the mistake of getting too close to an alligator.
If you notice one of these creatures, put a distance between them and you of at least 15 feet. Avoid setting up camp close to the water and never litter or leave food near the shore. Also, take different paths back from the water to your camp to avoid attracting the attention of a crocodile or alligator.
When an attack appears imminent, run away as fast as you can. They can only run about 10 miles per hour and will get tired of the chase very quickly. Do the same thing after a single bite. If they refuse to let go of you, attack their eyes, nostrils or throat.
