Huge Florida gator...
This picture was taken by a Life Flight helicopter flying over Lake Istapoka, in Sebring, Florida.

The alligator was found between Lake Istapoka and Pinedale estates...near a house. Game Wardens were forced to shoot the alligator- guess he wouldn't cooperate! Jayne and Don Hobkirk could hear the bellowing in the night. Their neighbors had been telling them that they had seen a mammoth alligator in the Lake that runs behind their house, but they dismissed the stories as being exaggerations. "I didn't believe it", Don Hobkirk said. Friday they realized the stories were, if anything, understat ed. Florida Game and Parks game wardens had to shoot the beast...

walks past the 23-foot, one inch alligator that he shot and killed in the back yard of Jayne & Don Hobkirk...

It's kinda like this I guess. I quote the greatness of Tommy Boy:
... I'll tell you what, you can take a good look at a butcher's a** by sticking your head up there, but wouldn't you rather take his word for it?...
... no, I mean you can take a good look at a t-bone by sticking your head up a butcher's a**, but then ... no, it's got to be your bull ...

Anyone ever hear of the "walking catfish" found on Florida?
Back in the 1960's when we were teens we used to go out with 22's and shoot them. Sometimes there was even a bounty on them by local authorities.
These were the days, when you could legally operate a motorcycle at the age of 14.

Lived in Plantation. Remember when Universtiy Drive going south from Broward Blvd. was a 2 lane road, all you could see was houses in the distance to the East, vacant fields to the west. University north of Broward was just a single lane bumpy dirt road.
