Risky human behavior is the cause for alligator aggression, not the animal’s temperament, reports a study from the University of Florida and Center College in Kentucky. In 96% of cases studied, risky behavior or inattention from humans preceded the alligator attacks, suggesting that the animal’s aggression can be preventable. Researchers say that educating the public on how to reduce risky behavior in the animal’s habitat will decrease human-wildlife conflicts and ensure safety for both parties.

Although their mating call sounds monstrous, alligators are not monsters. Alligator attacks on humans are relatively rare, with an average of only six fatal attacks per year in the United States. Most alligator attacks on humans are the result of the animal feeling threatened or provoked, such as when humans encroach on their territory or attempt to feed them.
