Bobcats, Gators and Dolphins - Oh My!

american-alligator.jpgIn Florida wildlife encounters are easy to come by as there are many natural places available to the public where visitors may interact with both native and non-native species. However sometimes residents find alligators in their pool and rabid bobcats when you retrieve garbage cans.

In Cocoa a six foot gator was trapped after taking a swim in an apartment complex pool after getting past a chained link fence.

A rabid bobcat attacked Wesley Chapel resident Dale Rippy, a 62 year old Vietnam veteran, and not only did he stand his ground, he choked it to death.

And then there’s this story of a woman who was bit by a dolphin.
