	Actually, that is not at all bizarre, I have seen crocodiles
crossing roads in Florida. Crocodiles are *big* suckers, I would not
want to run into one in anything less than a two-ton truck, and then I
sincerely hope I kill it, cuz it shore am goin ta be *mad* if it ain't

Since when did they have crocodiles on Key Largo?

Since when do crocodiles grow to be 8 miles long?

Glad you asked. Back when the greed heads were rapin the environment in
the northern Keys everyone got real ecology conscious started
doin impact studies and what not, and low and behold this criters they
thought where gators actually turned out to be crocodiles. And now
having been discovered, they immediately became an endangered species
instead of not existing at all. Hence the sign. Unlike burrowing
owls, I have never actually seen one of these so it may just be
a scam to get folks to stop and have 2 or 3 rumrunners before makin
that long drive back up to Miami. After 2 or 3 rumrunners, you can see just
about anything you want to.

Bob Weiler.
PS. The things in the glades are still gators.
PPS. Insist on Tiki John's formula rumrunners - accept no substitutes.

They don't.  Those are just allegations.
