The first time I went to Florida, I was convinced that I would have to be prepared for an alligator attack at any moment. I literally got off the plane and eyed the baggage carousel as if it were in the middle of a giant, gator-infested swamp, and in my mind's eye, I kept imagining how badass it would be if I sucker-punched a giant reptile in the nose. These were only scenarios I concocted in my imagination. If I really had wanted to be prepared, I should've talked to this guy who found a new species of animal chilling out on his tile floors. Alligators aren't the only threat!
This beast is a glorious tribute to evolution if there ever was one. You will look into its eyes and see your soul reflected in them. Is it menacing? Is it friendly? Do you care?
