He said he didn’t want anyone to get blindsided and attacked by the gator.
“It was a healthy fear. I respected the power I knew the gator had,” White said.
White said the city of Savannah needs to do a better job of maintaining the park’s grass and foliage, so people can see possible danger — like the gator — lurking.
The city of Savannah said it has since mowed the park’s grass.
