The Allegorical Alligator
If you don't strike quickly enough, you are lunchmeat. A large hungry alligator doesn't negotiate and is certainly not afraid of you, so don't go presenting an easy target:
Trappers using pig lungs as bait scoured canals and other areas Friday as they tried to find an alligator believed to have killed a woman.
...
Dr. Joshua Perper, Broward County's medical examiner, concluded Thursday that "the alligator attacked the woman while she was on land" and then dragged her body into a canal.
...
Suarez's mother told WFOR-TV she last spoke to her daughter by phone Tuesday night when she was sitting under a bridge by a canal.
Witnesses saw a woman matching Suarez's description dangling her feet over the water's edge, but no one saw an attack, said Officer Jorge Pino, a spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
