Gators haven't survived for this long without mastering the art of fence climbing.

Somebody call a plumber:

Only Florida will use 9 foot instead of 2.74m.

 

[Breads]

Ah yes. That one was about Florida Man tossing an alligator into a Wendy's.

Ah... the ol' gator in the window prank. Classic.

Only Florida will use 9 foot instead of 2.74m.

Must be true.

Because I'm bewildered at the thought of using meters in this situation.

 

[Einchy]

Florida doesn't fuck around.

I took these about a minutes walk from my house.

 

[Skunkers]

Wait, what? What stretch of I-75?

Alligator Alley, obviously. I remember when I was a kid there were fewer lanes there, and there were indeed gator crossing signs. I think they have fenced and barricaded better the sides of the highway nowadays, and built occasional tunnels underneath for wildlife to cross.

 

[Chariot]

Australia and Germany don't have Alligators.

Plus if it was Australia, its be someone having a beer with it.

That would probably not even news in Australia too. Would be the equivalent to "a bird flew into a yard".

That area also has these signs

I thought the Flordia Panther was exceedingly rare

Don't quote me on this, but I believe the Florida panther is endangered and most of their deaths are from vehicle collisions. That stretch of road passes by the panther preserve, so I guess that's the highest risk area for hitting them. I never saw one when I drove through, although I would have liked to.

 

[SchrodingerC]

Uh, yeah, no shit this happens in Florida. In fact, it's not even that strange of a phenomenon to come in contact with a gator. The guy is lucky it wasn't one of those fucking Burmese pythons that idiots keep releasing into the environment.

 

[Kickz]

This is why I will never live in Florida. I mean how the hell can seeing these modern day dinos not nake you want to gtfo?
