I DID NOT TAKE CAPTURE THIS SCENE, from a non-recommendable website that documents 'weird s***'.

It is at the entrance to the Viera Wetlands. There is a lot of wildlife out here, but generally only dangerous to those who are unaware and behave in foolish ways - like sitting near the water's edge and not looking where they put their feet when walking in the grass. Being that it is located in an area a few hundred yards from suburban sprawl - filled with folks from northern places that often didn't have to deal with dangerous wildlife - the county felt compelled to warn people. Or at least their attorneys felt that was needed.

The wetlands has a wide road on top of the dikes that created it, and generally if people just walk on the road they are not exposed to those threats. Although one day there was a 12-foot gator sunning himself right next to the roadway about 30 yards to the right of the gate (you can walk in either direction as you go in). It was fun to see the expression on people's faces as they started walking in that direction, looked ahead and saw the gator, and just thought: "oh hell no" and turned right around.

Thank you.

Perhaps they need a sign to warn people of "Florida Man". I'm not sure why but Florida has developed the reputation as being populated by guys who are trying hard to win a Darwin Award and in the process could easily cause collateral damage.

Err, they ARE winning the award, they simply cannot collect it!

I stand corrected. Maybe their descendants can pick up their award...uh, never mind.

I can relate to the middle sign. In 1976, I saw an alligator chomp down a little old lady's poodle. Fortunately, it snapped it right off the leash. It almost dragged the lady into the swampy lagoon between the time share condo buildings in Hilton Head, SC, where I was just checking in with my parents. There were other 'gators in the lagoon, and there was a "Please Don't Feed The Alligators" sign on the path...
