This sounds like the setup of a joke. ‘A squirrel, a raccoon, and a Florida woman come across an alligator on a trail.” Nature can be pretty entertaining.
@saltynaplesmama That raccoon is me when I see alligators on the trail.

That is one fast squirrel, but the raccoon takes a much more cautious approach. And no, despite how still it is, the alligator is in fact, not dead. According to Storyful, “The alligator, which has a damaged tail and three legs, is something of a mini-celebrity, and has been “named Stumpy by the locals”. The raccoon looked like he was about to double check and check, but then decided it was best to just move on. I get the feeling that raccoon has seen some things go down on this Lakeland Florida trail.
As of this writing, the video has been viewed over 198,000 times, but one of her other video really best describes what it’s like exploring the trails in Florida.
