Alligator attacks are extremely rare here in Florida with only about 8 unprovoked attacks occurring each year on average but those statistics won’t matter to a man and woman who were attacked by an alligator in Polk County while kayaking. The woman suffered serious harm to her elbow and needed to be airlifted to the hospital.
At the time of the attack, the woman was paddling in a kayak in Polk County, Florida, the county that encompasses Lakeland, Legoland, and hundreds of lakes that are home to some of the largest alligators in all of Florida.
