Talk about lucky! Somehow a man narrowly escaped an alligator attack on Sanibel Island this week.
According to NBC-2, the guy was working on cleaning out debris from Hurricane Ian on Monday when the alligator attacked. The Sanibel Fire Department said the man was clearing debris from a canal along Rabbit Road on Sanibel when the alligator lunged out of the water and started biting at his knees. It is a miracle that this guy was able to walk away with only scratches. In fact, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission said he was treated and released at the scene. Wow!
After the attack, nuisance gator trappers worked on identifying and removing three gators from the area. They were able to successfully remove two of those gators. One alligator was just an inch short of nine feet long, the other was seven feet long. Darkness fell before they were able to catch the third gator.
The trappers on Sanibel Island said the gators would be relocated to an alligator farm in another part of the state.
If you need to report a nuisance alligator, you can contact the FWC’s Statewide Nuisance Alligator Program by calling 866-FWC-GATOR (866-392-4286).
26 Mexican Restaurants In Southwest Florida To Celebrate Cinco De Mayo
26 Mexican Restaurants In Southwest Florida To Celebrate Cinco De Mayo
So, why do we celebrate Cinco de Mayo anyway? According to National Calendar Day, Cinco de Mayo is a yearly celebration held on May 5, commemorating the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.
Here in the United States, we have Americanized it and given ourselves another reason to go out and party, have some drinks and delicious food, all on a week night (at least this year it’s a Friday). It’s like St. Patrick’s Day in May.
In fact, Cinco De Mayo is more celebrated in the United States than it is in Mexico. That’s why we put together this list of 26 Mexican Restaurants In Southwest Florida For Cinco De Mayo.
Florida isn’t too far from Mexico, but there are tons of places to hit up for a margarita (or three) and some tacos on May 5th. Several of the local restaurants listed below are hosting a Cinco De Mayo celebration of their own next week. Be sure to stay tuned for details on those. And, if there’s a restaurant we’ve missed, let us know.
Check out the list below and make plans with your amigos for next Friday, May 5th!
