Rowers are saying these attacks are 'uncharacteristic' for the gators in the creek.
First Colony's Homeowners Association hired a trapper who caught and relocated an alligator they believe attacked a rower's boat.A couple of alligator attacks at Sugar Land's Oyster Creek have rowers concerned for their safety and puzzled by the reptiles' seemingly uncharacteristic behavior.
"We've never had an attack," Connors said."The alligators have always been there. You see them, they'll just float away. There's plenty to eat in Oyster Creek. They have no need to chase a boat."Two weeks ago, Eugene Janssen was rowing along Oyster Creek when he accidentally hit an alligator with his oar.Janssen said he heard a loud crunch shortly before water began to flood his carbon-fiber racing shell.
"When you're in one of these boats, you're going backwards," said Pasciak, who has been rowing for five years."It felt like I hit a huge log or boulder in the water. The boat suddenly slowed down and almost stopped, and then I saw a huge swirl of water, which you see if you pass an alligator."
