Woke up still kinda drunk at my grandparents house in Titusville in may of 86.
After a night of the Bar scene with my grandfather.
Coco Beach, Cape Canaveral area, VFW,s ect ect ect.
ABC Liquor stores/ bars are 👍👍👍
Anyways their was a 5 or 6ft long wally gator on the front lawn.
Just sat on the porch smoking a ciggerette scoping him out.
Even half hammered still I knew it wasn't Barney...
He was just getting warmed up in the mid morning sun and left after 10 or 15 mins.
LOL!!!

LOL!!! Since you seem to know that area, here's one you might get a laugh out of. Same time frame, mid 80's and hitting the same bars most likely. Late one night heading towards Titusville on US 1 , we had just passed the NASA causeway and saw something along side the road. This is roughly where the old Tarzan Jungle was, before it closed down . Many of the animals, especially the monkeys had gotten loose and were still in the area. We saw two Monkeys on the side of the road, with arms around each other, like they were drunk trying to help each other across US 1 . LOL My friend and I just looked at each other and shook our heads...and busted out laughing. Those Monkeys looked about as drunk as we were. We certainly no longer drink and drive, but we do laugh about this every time we get together.

'I SEE A RAPTOR!' One Florida homeowner is questioning whether the prehistoric creatures are back after seeing a dinosaur-like animal running across her yard. Somebody's been watching too many sci fi movies.

There's a story about a circus train derailing outside Mason Ohio a number of years ago. They had a heck of a time rounding up all the animals that got loose. The Mason police got a call from a disturbed man who said there was a big gray animal in his garden, "picking up cabbages with his tail."
"What's he doin' with the cabbages," asked Dispatch.
"Sir, you wouldn't believe me if I told you," came the reply.
Eventually, the elephant was captured and put back on the train.

I don't know what the woman saw. Perhaps she just needs a little bit of lithium oratate? Some use it for their hallucinations. Regardless, there's lots of critters in Florida that some would consider living dinosaurs. Here's one thats not a baby. I handled one about this size that ripped my arm open. No big deal. I didn't drop it. [video:youtube] https://abcnews.go.com/US/giant-lizard-terrorizes-florida-family-moving-backyard/story?id=57499299[/video]

Somebody's been watching too many sci fi movies. This guy makes his living catching and selling them as pets. Just Tegus though, not the other big scaly meat eaters and spiny back herbavours. https://www.tegusonly.com

That actually does look like a dinosaur in the video 😀 You should see them in person. The crowds love them. These water monitors are second in size to the largest living lizards, the Komodo Monitor or Komodo Dragon . The Komodo native version sometimes hunt in packs and will hunt deer as well as the occasional man. There was a team of researchers who left a team member behind at location to finish setting up cameras or something. All that they found later was his shoe. The water monitor in the video would eat dead soldiers in their natural range, but are spooked by wild confrontations most of the time.

*cough cough BULLSHIT *cough cough* What ya choking on? 🙄 Why would I make something like that up? Those things have claws like curved large raptor talons. When you pick one up and restrain the head/ neck, they will thrash unless they're body weight is supported. Problem is that if they are further alarmed or defensive, they will hug your arm, insert those long claws, then pull back. If I would've dropped him, he and I would've ended up on the news like the one in the video.

I assumed that it bit you and ripped your arm open and since they're venomous, that would be not so good. My apologies.
