AirForceVet: Considering I lived in FL as a kid with alligators (swam with some too), sharks (lovely diving with predators), snakes (stepped on rattlesnakes twice while bare-footed), spiders (lost count how many times I walked into huge banana spider webs in the long leaf pine forests), and roaches (try waking up with one on your face), the list was far too incomplete for Florida threats. How about sting rays and flying sturgeons (had recent fatalities there)?

But only FL animal that really scares me is the fresh-water amoebas that eat your brain and can't be stopped once they get established.

Yeah. Naegleria fowleri we just surveyed this little bastard. Scares the crap out of me too. Also, Jesus Christ! I would die if I walked into banana spider webs. No thanks.

smeag0l: I've got a turtle-head poking out right now.

Prairie doggin' it are ya?

Dreaded_South: As a FL resident I've got to say the scariest animals down here are the snowbirds...

I LOL'd and I agree!

National Key Deer Refuge manager Anne Morkill called the alligator's death "needless and due to someone's carelessness."

Because someone shoved that toy down the alligators throat, didn't they? Insensitive clods.

I LIKE TURTLES!!

Roaches. Definitely.

This plus a brazillion. I go hiking in swamps all the time, have been bitten twice by mocs, but damnit I HATE roaches. They scare the crap out of me. Most revolting creature ever.

Yeah, they work harder, make more money than us, it's just not fair. They really frighten me. That and some of them's skin is darkish.

Man, it wasn't even a REAL turtle. That's one stupid alligator.

That's Darwinism at work, folks.

Brain-eating amoebas scare me also.
I recall a news story in the 1970's about a kid who died of that.

Just don't swim or scuba in the still, stagnant lakes around here. They're just nasty anyway. I think spring-fed waters, steams, rivers and the ocean are mostly safe.

/except for the things that will eat you, of course.
//and drowning, too. that's bad.

I searched Wikipedia for woggle, and I'll be damned if it's not a thing.

Always make sure that your children know that BEFORE they run away from the big alligator that wants to EAT them, they should take the time to stop and pick up their toys.

poor Bacardi

I guess they weren't happy together.

What the hell is a "necropsy"?

Ack, both! Lived with the father in law for 8 months, both will chase you like they haven't eaten in weeks. Which is a lie, because I used to find skeletons of the lizards that ran all over the walls on the ground. Wifey hit one of the spiders with a stiletto heel shoe and it didn't die. Roach spray won't kill em either.

I find this interesting. You see, every Floridian I know complains that the worst thing in their state are the snowbirds, and yet, every article I read that wins itself the 'florida' tag is some idiocy committed by someone who is a born & bred Floridian.

Ah, so that's why old people go to Florida. Interesting ways to die.

Do you form your opinions on any other subject based solely on what you read on fark or just FL residents?

Darwinism? Alligators are one of the oldest animals around. I don't think Darwin calculated plastic toys in the mix!

Ditto on the roaches. We have them in Texas, too. Nasty little farkers!

Nah. autopsies and necropsies are interchangeable, according to the dictionary. :o

I hate roaches

The size of a cookie cutter? Could you be a little more ambiguous please?
