According to KPRC and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, non-nuisance alligators pose no threat and have no need to be removed. If you see one, keep your distance and go about your business.

Alligators want to avoid humans.

Alligators are naturally scared of humans and will usually try to get away. However, if you hear an alligator hiss, that means that you are too close. Also, if you are walking your pet and you are near a body of water, be sure your pet is leashed and you have full control of them. For a full list of safety tips, click here.
