they get too big (I guess too big is like 8 feet or so). If you don’t muck with the gators, they don’t muck with you. I wouldn’t take a poodle too close though!

When somebody wants to feed an alligator, may be he will be the food for the crocodile so I think the officers may not find him to ask for $ 500 .

Seeing an alligator on a golf course doesn’t seem so strange. There are a few at a course in Hardeeville SC. It’s kind of intimidating but they leave them alone until they get too big (I guess too big is like 8 feet or so). If you don’t muck with the gators, they don’t muck with you. I wouldn’t take a poodle too close though!

As far as signs go… On highway 80 between Savannah and Tybee Island, GA, there are turtle crossing signs. Turtles cross the road once or twice a year on the way to nesting sites. I guess they are an endangered species, but they aren’t real big and I don’t know what you’re supposed to do when you spot one going down the road 65MPH. Maybe swerve into oncoming traffic or something.

I enjoyed the alligator sign…Florida is full of these.

Reminded me of a trip to the Everglades, where I got out of my car to admire a beautiful bird, and was completely startled to see two eyes staring back at me through the marshy grass, only six or eight feet away. Naturally, they belonged to an alligator. Thank goodness he wasn’t hungry!

Best,

Karen

[...] But this picture – is taken in a Zoo To be more precise: Naples Zoo – Florida. And I just had to post this one as a follow up to the guys that refuse to report theft and the picture not taken in a zoo. [...]

Bears in Florida!? Cool. Most bears are vegetarian – does Florida bears eat oranges?

When thinking of it, I have to adjust my story about Norway and the small snake. There is something more dangerous. Maybe not on mainland Norway, but:

Svalbard is a partly norwegian piece of land north of mainland Norway. Svalbard has actually polar bears roaming around the streets. And polar bears are among the most deadly bears in the world.

On Svalbard this is a problem so serious that it is illegal to leave the town of Spitsbergen on foot wothout a shotgun.

In a few areas on US-27 there are bear crossing signs. I’d lived in Florida for 20 years without ever knowing we had bears…
