Just before I moved from florida last summer, I went to the pier to take some pictures. I got some nice pics of people fishing, seagulls, pelicans, surfers and sunbathers. As I was shooting some pics, I happened to notice this sign that said DON'T FEED THE PELIGATORS. I lived in Florida for 40 years and never heard of a Peligator. Well, right about then some cute girl in a bright pink bikini caught my eye. So naturally, doing a guy thing I began to take her picture. Just as I was about to snap the shot, the girl screamed and began running down the pier. I thought to myself what a strange reaction to having her picture taken, or maybe she thought I was a stalker or something ....disappointed I slowly turned around to this hessing sound (snakes hiss ..gators hess). There looking me right in the face was the strangest and ugliest creature I ever saw. I quickly snapped the picture you now see ..... I then turned an ran down the pier passing the cute bikini girl. I later found out that these creatures are somewhat rare and they are always looking for a handout... Hey everyone. Have a super-terrific week.
