Alligators, unlike their more aggressive crocodile cousins, usually try to avoid humans an aren’t known for attacking people. That said, alligator attacks still occur. Here are some of the stories:
Alligator kills woman
On Hilton Head Island in South Carolina, a woman died after being attacked by an alligator while walking her dog near a golf course. It was the second fatal alligator attack in Beaufort County within the past year. It may have been the dog the alligator was after, and the woman happened to get in the way.
