Crocodile? I thought the American Crocodile was an endangered species? Are they making a comeback in a big way?

“Warning: coffee is hot”

same sort of mentality

you live in FLA, don’t walk small dogs or children near the water. Unless you are trying for an ‘accident”

I was golfing the other day and I darn near stepped on one - a big one. It scared the white off my golf ball.

Should have been hunted to extinction.
All of them- crocks and gators. Worthless. Completely worthless.

It’s sad that lady lost her dog, but who’s hanging out by those canals that doesn’t know they have gators? I grew up in Florida, and it’s pretty much common knowledge that any body of fresh water is likely to have a gator or two in it from time to time.

Not true. Among other things they help keep the dog population down.

Three of my four dogs have scars from alligator attacks. In eight years, I've had to shoot two alligators when they were stalking the dogs to close to the house.

Click on my name to see my four dogs.

That’s not entirely true.

Alligators dig ‘gator holes’ in the ‘glades that hold water through the dry season. Saves many species.

FWC Relocates Miami-area Crocodile, Offers Safety Tips

Dec 23rd, 2008

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), along with licensed trappers, captured and relocated a nearly 11-foot-long American crocodile from a Coral Gables, Miami neighborhood.

This is the second time this particular crocodile has been relocated. The crocodile found its way back to the same neighborhood canal after the previous relocation.

This crocodile has been blamed for eating at least three neighborhood dogs. In order to protect their pets, pet owners should keep their pets away from the water or water’s edge, on a leash or in a fenced area.

Wouldn’t you just love to toss these traitorous Democrats into a pit full of these hungry monsters and watch them get torn to pieces?

Sure, put up a sign every 20 feet or so, attach fencing to the sign posts. Set up automatic machinegun towers every 1000 feet or so; landmines work!

Alternatively, occasionally let a dog get eaten to kind of remind the people in the area that alligators do stuff!

“Alligators perhaps,,but not crocodiles.”

There is actually a National Crocodile Refuge at the tip of Florida......Estimated population is ~2000 individuals with large males growing to 20 feet......
