This is very unusual!
Pretty much never happens …UNLESS one irritates a gator.
ESPECIALLY if it’s hatching season…and it is.
 
Momma gators are VERY protective of their nests and will go after anyone that appears to be threatening the nest.
The woman may have intentionally or stumbled into the one place she shouldn’t have been.
 
I know where this development is. As most are, I recall there being no warnings of water and gators. This is the real problem to address. Not just at this development, but all that post no warnings.
