While I'm waiting for the flowers to bloom, I thought I'd blog about one of our "neighbors"
who was out and about yesterday
a local alligator who lives about a mile from our home ...
Rex
approximately 80 pounds, five feet tall ...
muddy brown skin ...
good personality ...
looking for a good home with a loving family ...
loves seafood ...
will chase intruders ...
willing to relocate (even to London) ...
a member of the swim team ...
and the aquatic ballet
Note: Rex is one of our smaller gators. I believe the Alabama state record is 838 pounds, 14' 2".

Oh my God!!!! How absolutely terrifying to have such creatures wild near your home. Scary. xx
ReplyDeleteI was afraid you'd be appalled! Alligators normally flee from humans unless they've been fed by a human. Then, they become too friendly and sometimes aggressive. Crocodiles (live in south Florida) are another story ... they are aggressive and will go after someone. Yes, they are all a little scary ... I keep my distance and NEVER swim or even wade in the lake (we live near a huge lake). xx
