Good point, but bears are more skittish, especially in territory that is not typically 'theirs' (altho, I'm not going to argue with the bear over whose territory it really is) When in the same zone with a bear you have two initial options, you scare them or you play dead. Generally, if you make enough noise, they scat.
Not sure if gators resting in the sun are akin to like snapping turtles...more apt to slip back into the water or possible figure 'hmm, dinner is coming to me'.
