While southern Florida's "crocodylus acutus" is rather docile for a crocodile, the local alligators often give cause to lock ones's doors: | ||

A slightly larger gator, though not obvious in the photo: There are crocs in South Florida however, and I have seen them in the 14' range, and heard of bigger. BTW, wild turkeys will go through windows too, but since it's not intentional I shan't call them DG. Key Deer are nothing more than white tails that have adapted to a limited food supply. Weight range is approx. 40-65 pounds though there are variations of course. Folks on Big Pine Key where most are found have been feeding them and they prosper from that. They are a bunny hugger's delight, a geographical abberation, but nothing else. They won't even bring you the paper on rainy days. | |||

Judging from the elevation of the gator photo it could also be in Georgia on one of the rivers. The first picture looks like a Florida phosphate pit but the second could be a river or old pit that has partially filled in. The only place I can think of in south Florida that has the elevation could possibly be the Caloosahatchee river which has some high banks. It's awfully tough to size a gator from a picture without a known reference. Regardless of what everyone thinks not all deer are dog sized in Florida depending how they have been fed. Anyway that gator got himself a nice snack. Ralph | |||
