About 15 years ago I was on an airboat that flipped over near Florida City, right at the edge of the Everglades. Truth be told, nothing got next me but the panic almost gave me a heart attack. The Glades are as close to the jungle as we have here in the United States.

I see gators all the time in Florida. You get used to them and you find out the dos and don'ts. Do keep a respectable distance. If you feed them you're an idiot who deserves to get your hand taken off.

Speaking of the Glades, giant snakes do not exist naturally in North America. But over the past 20 years or so people have bought things like pythons and boas on the black market from South America. When they get too big, these idiots set them free in the Glades. Today it's a real problem. Every day you read about a gator eating a snake or a snake eating a gator.
