Re: Boar hunting in Florida
Guess the hunters should take better care of their dogs!

Re: Boar hunting in Florida
they were considered endangered once, now there are an estimated 1 million in florida fresh water. there have been many attacks, because humans have encroached on their habitat. they are in florida water traps on golf courses, and every body of fresh water . they are eating people's pets and even coming into peoples' yards and attacking them. if it is mating season they are extremely aggressive. and it's true, some have been conditioned to associate humans with food, which endangers everyone.

Re: Boar hunting in Florida
True. They also provide fresh water for other species, keep other species in balance and are the only reptile providing true parental care for the young.

Re: Boar hunting in Florida
As a native Floridian, (transplanted now), I've seen plenty of alligators. (This one's a beaut, btw!)
They will, upon occasion, capture their prey and take it elsewhere to stash. What folk need to remember is we're encroaching on their territory. |
