I heard this from many people they saw crocodiles at our area several places.
So it's not accidental there are signs around don't disturb the protected animals.

Now it's confirmed.

Hey,

I did not know we had crocks. I thought we only had Alligators in the south. I guess I need to check with Okefenokee Joe.

I don't think there's an animal alive that would get anywhere near that shirt as it has to be the ugliest I have ever seen in my life.

seriously ugly .

Then maybe he knows that.

We are looking forward to get a picture with a kiter kiting arround aligators.
That will be for sure the "picture of the day" :-)

We were told that sharks may attack a kite board is the kiter stay too long still in the water.
Anyone has the same analysis regarding aligators ?

I beg to differ - see here.

Much rarer that the 'gators, but also bigger and more aggressive.
