April 2005 saw multiple bull shark attacks in Florida that resulted in fatalities. Now, the sharks appear to have given way to a creature that has the ability to attack not only in the water, but on land as well. And they're doing it rather effectively.Two more bodies were discovered Sunday, bringing the total of fatal attacks by murderous alligators to three, while the total for deadly gator attacks in the past 58 years has only been 17.
A 23-year-old snorkeler was found still *gulp* in the gator's mouth, and only after poking the animal with a stick in the eye were her friend's able to get her out. The second woman was found floating in a swamp three days after she disappeared.
So now as the warm weather continues, Florida residents are being urged to stay out of non-pool bodies of water and out of the swamps completely. But don't head back to the ocean, because the bull sharks are jealous and ready to pounce.
