I was too shaken to attempt a better photo. I slowly backed away after I snapped this photo, after all the dock had no railing or barrier between us :eek:
 
This guy is/was bigger and those plants probably wouldn't have slowed him/her down much if went after anybody walking down the path about 3 feet to the left of frame.

I’m glad we don’t have those here! I remember seeing quite a few of them by the sides of the road when I visited Florida back in 2005. We drove across Alligator Alley and were just hoping we didn’t break down!
