Life in Florida can be a real wild ride, and this time it's not because of the theme parks. It's all about Robert Robinson from Saint Cloud, who decided that his bathroom was the perfect spot for five unexpected houseguests... Alligators!
Who in their right mind keeps alligators in the bathtub? Well, apparently, Robinson thought it was a fantastic idea. According to FOX35, The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission got a tip about some juvenile gators living the high life in Robinson's bathroom.
When officers arrived at the scene, they were met by Robinson's neighbor on the front porch. That's when they realized they were in for quite the surprise. Robinson, the man behind this unusual setup, readily admitted that, yes, he had alligators in his bathroom. He even gave them the green light to check it out. What did they find? A whopping five gators, enjoying a cozy bathtub staycation.
Five Alligators:
But don't worry, the officers didn't just stop there. They decided to give Robinson's house the full "gator sweep" to ensure he wasn't hiding any more reptilian friends. After confirming that the bathroom was the only alligator hotspot, they caught up with Robinson in person near his workplace.
What did Robinson have to say for himself? Well, he spilled the beans, revealing that he'd scooped up these gators from a nearby pond. As for how long he'd been playing host to these toothy creatures, it remains a mystery.
Of course, you can't just keep alligators in your bathroom in Florida without consequences. Robinson was issued a citation and will have to make a mandatory court appearance. The gators, on the other hand, got a one-way ticket to Lake Tohopekaliga, which was probably a much-needed escape from the confines of a bathtub.
If you find yourself with an idea for home decor involving wildlife, it might be a good idea to think twice. Alligators in the bathroom? It could come back and bite you in the butt later.
Florida Man Mike Dragich Captures 10 Foot Alligator At Jacksonville Elementary School
Florida Man Mike Dragich is the total package. He's a local veteran in Jacksonville. He's an MMA fighter. And he's the guy they call when a Florida alligator becomes a problem. That's what happened last week with this 10 foot beast showed up in a parking lot at a Jacksonville elementary school.
Mike is a licensed trapper and knows what he's doing. Don't try this at home. He told Fox 35 ""We get there. I walked through the gate. And boom. There it was just ready to go right there in the parking lot, and we just had to get the job done."
We've seen a lot of alligator videos lately. We're right on the end of alligator mating season, so hopefully it'll slow down soon. But here's at least one more before the beasts calm down.
When I saw the video, even before Mike got to the gator you can see that thing didn't stand a chance. I wouldn't get near that thing without a suit of armor. This guy is sleeveless. I mean, what are the rest of the people there to do? I guess he needs someone to pass him the tape. That seems to be about it. This guy knows what he's doing.
The gator takedown
This is just nuts. With all the people screaming it was quite the scene.
So, what do you do for fun?
You could charge for these shows. How do you show no fear?
Is he even human?
That is some scary stuff. A true Florida Man.
Like he said earlier, don't try this at home
I can't even. I'm flinching just watching these videos.
