Dangers Everglade Animals

in the Everglades there are dangers galore alligators, crocs, rattlesnakes, and many more…. a cottonmouth aka water moccasin would scare me back to my car could be bitten by a brown recluse, looking for its violin scar baby florida panther might entice me with his blue eyes here comes mama cougar all grown, what an unfortunate surprise! Burmese python is coming quickly to constrict out my lunch It is too late to run, I know this is more than a hunch a red snake, how delightful, uh-oh, I see his fluorescent yellow I know now he is an eastern coral, a most venomous fellow where are the black bears? Would they save me? Do you know? I have heard they only eat plants and garbage litterbugs throw Is that an alligator or a crocodile? Dare I get near its weird hump? oh, yes, it’s the big one, so it’s a croc, and they can both jump! I hear a rattling, and know I am about to be some animal’s lunch Florida swamps are dangerous. This is more than a hunch.
