Florida residents may be no stranger to the odd alligator sighting, but as mating season ramps up, the hungry and horny reptiles are turning up in the strangest of places.

Videos and photos from across the state have shown gators being found in swimming pools, on the streets and even in a chicken wing joint's parking lot.

On Friday, Fort Myers police shared a picture of an eight feet alligator that startled a local family when they discovered that it had torn through their back porch screen at 2am.

It makes one ask “What is the women’s purse industry doing to help solve this problem?”

We have two in our subdivision now - a little four-footer and one BIG 12 footer. They travel in the culverts between all the retention ponds, making them difficult to catch.
Last weekend a couple of Sandhill cranes mysteriously lost their two babies from their nest by the edge of our pond. It was heartbreaking to hear them trumpeting all night, searching in vain for their lost kids.

No gators around here!

Two gators stand down

Who's afraid?

I wouldn’t want to be in the water with giant anacondas either.

Yeah, I can’t back out of my driveway
without running over alligators. Luckily,
having eaten the neighbor’s large dogs,
the gators aren’t hungry enough to go after me.

Just seeing your Cat vs. Gators videos now.

Wow! Those kitties' primal instincts really kick in when they need to, huh? :-D

I wonder if the second cat is really a "house" cat?? If so, what's it doing outside?
