Gator Bites

In Florida, we have a lot of 'gators.  We have 'gators in our lakes, like this one:

And, we have Gators that play sports, like at the University of Florida:

We have several kinds of 'gator bites as well.  Some folks love 'gator bites and they say they "taste just like chicken", but they don't; they taste like 'gator!

Then of course, there are the real bites from 'gators. Those aren't so tasty, unless you are the alligator! It's why pets and people need to be careful when they are swimming, wading or even walking alongside water, like a lake or canal.

Here in Florida, we have people who work as wildlife trappers and they go around saving the rest of us from nuisance 'gators that come out of the waters and into our yards (and streets and sometimes homes)! The other day in Gainesville (home of the UF Gators, by the way) a real alligator was wandering around so people called the police. Once "on the scene", the police called a licensed trapper to relocate the alligator.

Well, I think the alligator was not thrilled to hear that he was to be relocated so he tried to show the police who's boss! See for yourself:



Now that's a 'gator bite!
