One Thing People Should Realize when they come to Florida is...

These Are Everywhere!

  ...yes, this is right off the side of the highway. You should just assume that if there's fresh water, there could be an alligator lurking. Just last week or so a woman's Labrador jumped in a pond and became dinner. This was right in town, a large park. Some idiot on the news expressed shock and blamed it on a lack of signs! How about realizing where you are? You're in Florida and there are large carnivorous amphibians here!
