“Relocate”?! Why didn’t they put it down! That thing is dangerous.

In fact I think they should call for open season on all Florida gators. What the heck? Who needs these things around?!

EVs are heavy. A Ford F-150 Lightning would probably do just fine. Maybe not a Nissan Leaf.

Nobody has any respect for Americans ever since King Joe Pedo I rose to the throne.

Gators eat EVs for lunch.

The Georgia Bulldogs don't disagree.

I think that is probably a writer’s error, as gators are typically put down in these situations, I think it is required (though that may be just in cases where they are looking for missing body parts.)

Let that be a lesson to all who are considering moving to Florida.....your life could be in peril at any time....

Florida is the lightning strike state capital of the US.
Other hazzards include Sharks, water moccasins, sinkholes, rip currents, giant roaches, the state bird is the mosquitoe, there’s hurricanes and the tornadoes that hurricanes spawn, and the latest....MALARIA.

And let’s not forget the Senior drivers.....so you better think hard before relocating.

Alligators are attracted to dogs- dogs are like deer shaped gatorcandy, irresistable.

Which is one reason we don’t have much of a feral dog problem.

You failed to mention the nerdowells. They are an invasive species that start in populated areas and reproduce until they can destroy the place.

No end to the trouble caused by Florida gators, aka mud lizards.

The alligator’s “protected;” the man, not so much.

Those are responsible for 90% of what Florida Man gets blamed for.
