More Cape Coral Wildlife Fun

A while back I posted a story about a client of mine who found a diamondback rattlesnake in his yard in North Port. Well he has found another since!

But here's onto my newest story. I know that we have Nile Monitor Lizards here but I have yet to see any. My new neighbor & I were chatting the other day & he told me that there is at least one living in the canal here. He said it eats anything it can - including small pets. Well I have a little dog so I was a bit concerned. He told me that another neighbor had a friend walking his dog & that the Monitor came up and bit the dogs leg WHILE the owner was right there. Ok, so they are NOT afraid of people. Even scarier. So now I keep thinking about this thing when I walk my dog. I guess it is somewhere between 5-6 feet long!

Here's a photo I found online so you could see what they look like in case you don't know. Maybe I'll get a photo of the neighborhood Nile Monitor and post it one day!

By the way, Lee County, specifically Cape Coral, Florida is the only known area of confirmed breeding of such animals in Florida per this website/study: http://www.floridaconservation.org/critters/exotics/SpeciesNumberResults.asp?SPPNO=291

 

What unusual wild animals can be found where you live?

Seriously think about walking else where - gross! I get bull and rattle snakes on occasion. But when you walk up on them they  usually head the other direction. Two summers ago my two little dogs walked up (onto) a coiled bull. Scared me soooooooooo bad! I ran up stairs and looked down to see it uncoil, it was 4-5 feet long. I vet thinks we confusssed it because there were three heat sources coming up on it from three different directions. I never want to do that again!
