Florida Safari!!!!

Anyone can find alligators and woodstorks in Florida. The place is crawling with them. Particularly if you go to fantastic spots like Shark Valley and Corkscrew Sanctuary.

I went in search of rarer wildlife, and wow- did I find it. Here are some of my favorite finds.

A close encounter with

Manatus Granitus McMansionus

Sign of the elusive Torti Indecisivus
I was stalked by the rare Puma Concolor Coryi Seductivous, who seemed particularly drawn to me by my Rhinitis Allergicus.
Pufferous Mortus Super Coolious. You could see how the skin could expand!
Caterpillar Freakazoidous. I hear it grows into a really boring moth.

Artistus Cicadus Migratorious Overpackedus. This rare breed had three adults, one infant and two art fair booths deftly contained in a minivan. They must guard against fluffage at their desination, or they will never get it all back in!
