Lived in Florida, saw gators along ponds and lakes. Armadillos were always roadkill.

I live in Florida again. When I was young and living on a lake, I saw alligators in my yard and had a next door neighbor that pulled their car out of their garage and there was an 8-foot alligator that had crawled under their car. I have an approximately 12 ft alligator that cruises the lake behind my house, often coming right up to the shore. I have to watch my dogs even though my largest is 100 lbs.

That’s a baby. Last week there was a black bear cruising the hallways of a complex here in Reno. A good friend had a brown bear in her yard on Tuesday.

Probably good advice, but I’d worry more about people than ‘gators.

What a novel idea, having alligators patrol the halls for illegals.

This is how I want the cops to treat drunk and disorderlies. Tape their mouths shut and then visibly toss them in the police cruiser. They act like spoiled children complete with screaming and kicking. Tasing should also be an option.

100 pound dog to a 12 foot alligator is like eating a marshmallow.

Yes, I know. That is why I always carry something that can do the job.
