The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources said it is likely that the alligator associated humans with food.
"My opinion is it was probably an alligator that has been fed," said Morgan Hart, alligator project coordinator for SCDNR. "It has learned that people fishing there have given it food in the past. It is very hard to unteach an alligator that people mean food."Hart said if you're ever fishing in a pond with a gator, you should keep your distance.
"If you're seeing alligators, they're approaching you, they're interested in your bait, your line, your bobber, you should pull all that gear out, step away, give them time to move on," she said. Host of The Outdoorsman, Buck McNeely, said ultimately, you never want to get too close to a gator or attract its attention as it could quickly end in tragedy.Kimberlin's brother-in-law captured a photo of crews removing alligators from the pond where all this happened Thursday morning."Once an alligator learns to approach people for food, that is a dangerous animal that has to be removed," Hart said.
