Florida frightens me.
I love the state, great governor, great people … I love Florida’s free state!
But wildlife hurts me!
Usually it is just crocodile and snake, but now you can add bear attacks.
A 89 -year -old Florida man and his dog were killed by a black bear in the state’s first deadly bear attack:

Yes, this happened a few weeks ago, but I have not yet got a chance to cover it.
Fox News More information was:
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) confirmed a man on Friday and his dog was killed by a black bear in Jerome – the first deadly black bear attack in the history of the state.
Family members reported 89 -year -old Robert Merkel to disappear from his home and “signs of recent disturbances” that could be caused by a bear or bear around the property.
The Coliere County Sheriff Office (CCSO) on Monday informed the FWC employees of a possible deadly wildlife encounter, and FWC Law Enforcement and Bear Management Employees responded to immediately secure the area.

Officials also noted that a dog was recently killed by a bear to a person, and there were indications that a bear had entered the house itself.
While the exact sequence of events is not clear, FWC’s human-business conflict response policies and guidelines underline how the agency should react to facing situations that need to be removed for a bear for public safety.
Till Tuesday morning, on Tuesday morning, FWC personnel killed three adult male bears weighing 207, 263 and 434 pounds as per the release.

God Bless Florida Man….
You guys are really a different breed and I like it!
I think Florida is a terrible place, just walking everywhere with your prehistoric dinosaur lizards, staying in every pond, and any moment is ready to eat you …. I don’t know how you guys live like this.
Therefore, I am in awe of your constant bravery in provoking the man of Florida and these prehistoric animals.
Here is the latest….
It is not a big deal, just a man is wrestling an 8 -foot crocodile in the middle of the road with his bare hands …. and win!

I like crocodile stories a lot, I could cover them throughout the day.
If I ever retire from covering political news, I can only transfer this website completely to crocodile coverage.
I have got a lot of material….
Someone remember when this happened?
Philadelphia Phillies fan attempts to enter the stadium with emotional support crocodiles
And this is not just for crocodiles….
The Florida man also wrestles with Boa Constricter.
There is no big deal, just wrapping Boa Constricter on a large scale!
Look: Florida officer removes Boa Constricter on a large scale from the middle of the road!
Or how about this?

Sad: After the bite of goor, man’s arm dissected!

From Fox News,
Officials said a 10 -foot crocodile attacked a Florida person near a pond outside the weekend, cutting the man’s arm so badly that doctors were forced to dissect the limb.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission faced an encounter on Sunday morning behind Banditose Bar at Port Charlotte.
The 23 -year -old man was rushed to Gulf Coast Hospital of Fort Myers by helicopter, where Charlotte County Fire and EMS spokesman Tod Dun, said, he was dissected.
The victim, who was later identified as Jordan Riviera, spoke to WBBH-TV from his hospital bed on Monday, told the station that despite losing one hand, he was happy to be alive.
“I did not lose my life, I lost one hand, it is not the end of the world, you know,” Riviera said.
Riviera said that what had happened was very little, telling the station that he remembered that the bathroom lines were long, and when he suddenly fell, he went out to give relief to himself.
“I finished in water,” he said. “And this is really the last thing I remember.”
Another time the mentor, Maini Hidalgo told the Daily Sun that he heard the man shouting from the pond area and went out in search of him in the dark.
“He was screaming and floating towards the coastline,” said Hidalgo. “I ran away and pulled him on the sand. I was afraid to get close to the water because it was dark.”
Riviera was pulled for security, but the crocodile had tore a chunk with his right hand. The doctors displaced their arm just above the elbow.
I feel very bad for this man!
Want to know what is bad?

A terrible crocodile attack on an 85 -year -old woman caught on camera
Warning: It can bother readers very much.
This is a sad and frightening story.
I love Florida’s independence, but I am not sure I want to live there.
I am fascinated and frightened by all crocodiles living in that state.
Every pool of water, no matter how small or shallow it is, is very likely for a crocodile house.
How do you live around these things?
Its terrible!
It is a matter of regret that a woman paid the final price to her small dog walking with the coastline.
Why???
Oo, it just makes me sick.
This poor 85 -year -old woman takes her small dog out to walk, never doubt that it will be her last day.
And is there a sad and frightening way.
I feel very bad for her and her family.
All this video was captured:

From Fox NewsIt is said that the weight of the crocodile is 600 to 700 pounds!
The 85 -year -old Florida woman has surfaced a video before a crocodile attacked her dog in a retirement community while walking badly.
Gloria Surge was on Monday by a retention pond behind his house at Fort Pierce, Florida, when 10 -foot -long crocodile tried to crawl with water and first attack his dog.
The monitoring footage showed the reptile swimming in a straight way to the dog’s dog, before it comes out of the water and enhances the embankment in search of the animal.
The elderly woman was taken to the ground with a crocodile, then cut her legs, and then dragged into water. While the body of the woman was recovered from the retention pond, the dog survived.
“Please hurry up! … It’s a very big goor. It’s too big, I have nothing to give it,” a neighbor is called in a frantic 911 call issued by Fort Pierce Police.
“It’s too late. Oh, my God,” the woman is heard later.
“Did Goore draw him down?” The dispatcher asks.
“Yes,” the neighbor shouts.
“Okay, you are not seeing any of his body, nothing sticking anything?” The dispatcher says.
“Nothing, she has gone,” the woman responds.
Crocodile, which has been reported to be weighed between 600 and 700 pounds, was trapped and killed by a nuisance goor trapper.
And now video.

It is absolutely terrible.
But only one question for the reporter who interviews the neighbor….
Brother, what kind of question is: “Do you want you to find it soon?”
In fact?
Is this your question?
face.
