I can remember back to when I was a teen in the early 70's trekking threw the swamps of southern Louisiana. We would go fishing and hunting. Never really thought about the dangers because the worst thing you may come across was a water moccasin. Moccasin are not really aggressive unless you step directly on them; and god forbid you ever got bitten by one but there was always anti venom.
Not so today. You really have to watch where you step if you get off the beaten path in swampy areas because you may be bitten by something that has no anti venom.
I took these pictures today. They are a drainage ditch that is in a fenced area of a chemical plant. Many people walk by here everyday and as you can tell from the pictures he has no fear of humans. He just sat there even as I threw a couple of rocks in the water to scare him.
Can you spot him? Here is a better picture.
Got to be a 5 footer easy. While I do not think we have as bad a problem as Florida has we are getting there.
In fact there was a accident on the interstate a couple of years ago. One car in the left lane came to a sudden screeching stop. Car behind him ran into back of first car at about 70 MPH. 1 or 2 killed. Come to find out the first car stopped because he had just hit a 11 foot alligator in the road.
So you guys can complain about your nuisance wild animals all you want. At least your wild animals do not bite your leg off.
