I have it on very good repute that the ferocius looking creature is merely
an alligator "hanging out."

We saw a good many critters on this tour.. including the elusive manatee.
It was visable only for a moment before it dived.

I think I heard a boat hit a manatee during the night.  We were camping on
the beach when I heard a boat "buzz by" fairly close into the shoreline at
high speed during the night...about 4:00 a.m.  The boat hit something solid
which killed the engine.  It took awile for the boat to crank back up..  The
next day, some boaters came by asking us if we had seen a dead manatee which
someone had reported.
