“I guess I won’t do this again,”

Must have been highly degreed and poorly educated to pull a stunt like that, but on the other hand, she did realize that she couldn’t pull it off again.

A year after we had moved to Florida from Southern California there was in the local news an incident where a man from Michigan was golfing in The Villages and his ball rolled into a water feature. He walked to the water’s edge and reached into the water to retrieve his golf ball. A gator sprung out from under the water grabbed his arm rolled violently and ripped his arm from his shoulder socket.
The gator was shot and his arm retrieved and was reattached after many hours of surgery.
When you’re in the deep south ALL freshwater lakes, ponds, streams, etc...must be assumed to have gators in them. Why? Because they probably do.

It is Bambi land. Gators thrive on bambis’ land.

“I don’t look like a deer.”

When I was a kid, this mattered. Not anymore.

I don’t think so.

I used to work at a refinery in Pascagoula Mississippi. We were warned about rounding corners too fast because of gators in the plant in the winter. They would come out of the swamps and get near the processing equipment to get warm.

Found one and learned my lesson.

Sad story. Stay away from gators.

Did they list her cause of death as Covid-19?

Why kill the gator when the lady approached it and tried to touch it?
