I had the privilege to travel by fan boat around a Florida lake. A very very cool way to travel, however there were gators ALL over the place. I stepped out of our car and there was actually one probably no more than 15 yards from me. Looking back on it now, I honestly wished I hadn't supported the small company I ventured with as they had very exotic animals in very tight quarters on location....and I'd almost go so far as to say that some were illegal! (don't quote me on that, though. I'm not a zoologist) I am glad that I walked away un-eaten by a Florida gator.
