Would love to see a problem headed their way and have someone stop and say,wellll now my good man, are you an alligator or croc??????
Is it me or have dems gotten uglier over the years????
Just like Pubs, they eat their own.
In Gainesville FL there is a small lake on the southside of town near UF called Lake Alice. In 1974, at least, it was full of gators and always had a lot of UF students strolling about on the shore, mostly getting stoned. My wife and I and three year old daughter were there one day admiring the reptiles. I turned around to see what daughter was doing and she was sitting on a sleeping gator that turned out to be the 12 foot unofficial mascot of UF. I walked the four steps over and picked up the kid and we left. “Albert,” the unofficial UF name, died several days later when it got a pill bottle stuck in its throat. The city mourned.
Or a caiman which looks like an alligator but is more closely related to crocs. Caimans were the baby alligators that tourists bought in tourist traps in Fl until the sales were banned. They tended to outgrow their aquariums in northern cities and get released into the storm drains. which made for some interesting headlines in the yankee papers every now and then for a few years.
Well, one of them will see you later, the other in a while
I think the SP record is 11’6”. The one in the video appears to be larger than that.
Paging Mr. Troy Landry!
I was watching a show about Key Biscayne south of Miami a while back.
Folks including kids were swimming from a beach and less than 100 feeet away about a 12’ croc came through some mangroves entering the bay.
Swimmers were completely unaware.
And yes there are Croc’s there.
just saying.
Just life in Florida. Sometime watch ‘Swamp People’ when they go gator hunting in Louisiana.
I’ve lived in Florida many years...(love it!)
Wherever there is water you probably will see a gator eventually.......and there is water everywhere
Only once did we have one crawl into our back yard......but the golfers see them often.
It’s life in Florida!
In St.Cloud, Fla there is a sanctuary/animal medical residence where poisonous snakes are daily milked for their venom....
Around back there is an enclosed pond where they keep a giant alligator and throw him daily road kill.
Fun Florida.
When 'nuisance alligators' are removed from Disney and other 'city lakes' they're NOT killed, they're released in rural central Florida lakes. A friend killed one last week that was going after the dog he was walking. The rule is you can kill an alligator but you can't skin it or cut the tail off for meat... that's poaching and it's against the law.
That is an alligator. The wide blunt nose is definite, crocodiles have a narrow elongated snout.
Thanks
When I was young we used to go night fishing in Florida lakes. You could see hundreds of red eyes with a flashlight. We never jumped in to cool off. 😏
You have no chance of surviving an attack.
You can literally hold an alligators jaws closed with your hands.
“While visiting Swagrass Golf course these creatures were lounging around a small lake like they owned it...while golfers weren’t the least bit concerned.”
My buddy had a 250 Suzuki. We would hit the golf courses at night and ‘dive’ for golf balls.
Crazy!
