Vacationers Find Alligator Lounging on Alligator Pool Float at Their Miami Airbnb
Miami New Timea ^ | 05/20/2019 | Jessica Lipscomb

Here are some places in Florida where you can reasonably expect to encounter an alligator: a storm sewer, the end of an airport runway, your local golf course. But this might be a first — while in town for a wedding, Georgia resident Dave Jacobs and his family spotted a gator casually chilling on an alligator-shaped pool float at their Airbnb in South Miami.

Where do you find alligators in Florida? Chilling out on an alligator-shaped pool pad.

This one was just happy to displace the tourists in the Airbnb resort pool.

I’d be more concerned if he was successful!! :)

Probably had as much movement as some of my exes.

LOL! FFS! Along the southern coast from NC around to TX, if there’s water, there may be gators. Fact of life. Lucky they aren’t endangered any longer.

He didn’t get a human-sized snack. Was safely relocated by wildlife wranglers.

An alligator atop an alligator? Something you don’t see every day! Meta, indeed.

Jacobs says his family first spotted the gator in the lake outside of their vacation rental Saturday. The alligator seemed to be taunting their dog, Rascal, who spent the day barking and running around the screened-in pool deck.

“We thought that was pretty cute,” Jacobs says. “Then, the next day, it just showed up in the pool.”

...

It’s cute if you like the idea of the gator eating your dog.

How did it get in the “screened in pool deck”?

Looks like a rigged photo op for their 15 seconds of fame.

I bet the neighbors love the AirBnB guests showing up with their little rat dogs barking all day. They probably hired the gator.
