Today I was walking away from a restaurant at lunch time, when I happened to walk by a retention pond right outside. If you are not familiar with Florida, it is practically a rainforest with common thunderstorms and rain downpours. However, storms typically do not hit until mid-late afternoon.
Since we have been getting a lot of rain lately, ponds, rivers, lakes and many other types of bodies of waters have been getting quite full.
As I walked by the pond, I heard some rustling and water moving about. I assumed at first that it was a fish or a bird...possibly even a bird catching a fish. So I stopped to take a look real quick. And to my surprise, I saw this bad boy...
It was about 6 feet long. Not as big as much of the alligators you will see in Florida, but nonetheless, not something to be trifled with.
Nature is so damn cool!
