Lol I live in Homestead (southwest Dade) this literally was a settlement built in the middle of the Everglades

A consistent reminder to keep my azz out East.

Yeah y'all got some weird shyt down there. You sure the animals ain't escape from the zoo or something?

"orange head, black bodied, yellow tailed creature the size of a Bolivian woman"

This shyt was prolly the chupacabra.

I thought you were from FL?

I thought you were from FL?

Or maybe I'm like @Daniel Day Lewis and got multiple people running the account and only one is from Florida. The person posting this message could be right in front of you at this moment.

But I'll give you a visual explanation of why I used the expression "down there".

I stay in Homestead

I was coming home from working in thomasville, ga last month right. There's this back road that you can take from thomasville hwy to hwy 90, which is where our apt is. I'm driving and see this huge ass squirrel in the road

I thought he was kinda damn big for a squirrel, then I noticed the tail was different. Thought it was a racc00n

Then when I got closer, I noticed it had a small black head and hopped away

I realized what it was immediately

They say rich people lose exotic pets all the time. Bruhs, I swear king julien hopping around in the woods in tallahassee

I read somewhere before that it's a fukked up equation of rich people having exotic pets, plus them not really knowing how to secure them, and the variable of random hurricane and weather damage, equals you having to look both ways when you leave the house just to make sure an Indian rattlesnake doesn't eat your ass.

Living here for 20 years, I be seeing all kinds of fukkery that make me go

I was coming home from Popeyes one night and a hissing armadillo scurried across my path

The nine lives myth is bullshyt because I see dead cats all over the place everyday

Walking around and smelling dead animals so much I'm desensitized to the smell

I saw a stray dog get punked by a peacock

Speaking of peacocks, why are there so many down here They tore out the shingles on my dad's roof

I was walking home from Walgreens tonight and a bat flew over me I could see the brown & white fur and it's wings from the reflection of the street lights

We have species of wild chickens destroying vegetation because of all the Spanish people down here practicing Santeria

These lizards species are ridiculous

I saw 2 big ass iguanas kicking it above my front door on the wall They were both green but one had a big ass orange patch on its back

I was walking through the subdivision next to my subdivision a few weeks ago and seen an orange head, black bodied, yellow tailed creature the size of a Bolivian woman

The canal behind my house is FLOODED with alligators Go outside in the morning and see a bunch of yellow eyes staring at you above the surface

The Everglades is overloaded with pythons & anacondas now Burmese pythons made the ENTIRE SPECIES of swamp rabbits go extinct in Florida There was 3 million of them

Live in some real life fallout shyt brehs
Have peacocks fukk your house up and flex on dogs brehs

Got snakes in my backyard

Had to kill a 4 foot python once was shook for weeks

Got a gator somewhere in there too

Neighbors being haunted by something that looks like a cross of a boar and a coyote

Had them two pop out on me while biking. Considered moving back to NY both times.

Snapped a picture of this prehistoric monstrosity during a visit out there last year. Anyone know what the hell it is?

Don't forget the bobcats, coyotes, wild monkeys and big ass tegus lizards

I see gators every week..they put them in every man made lake

I don't think they put them in those man-made Lakes they actually find their way to the man-made Lakes. Which means they're in the sewer systems

Most of these man mad lakes have no sewer systems

here in tampa in the newer neighborhoods you will find a bunch of small man made lakes/ponds and you will see baby gators with no big gators, and you will see other stuff they put in

I always wondered about this. Here in Jax it’s the same. Bunch of retention ponds. Man made. A good bit of them have little gators in them. When the gators start getting big they call animal control and they scoop em up.

So why are they putting in baby gators just to come get them later on?
