Watch: Alligator Pushes Through Metal Fence
Alligator pushes through metal fence. This video is scary knowing that our fences we have around our homes to protect our kids and pets are not that safe. Watching this alligator just push through this metal fence like it is spaghetti makes you think. Found this story at Creative Loafing website.
There are 1.3 million alligators in the state of Florida in all 67 counties and right now it is mating season. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), normally mating season runs from May through June, however experts say it can start as early as March. Alligators are on the move right now. First of all, you would think that putting a metal fence around your home or property could keep the alligators out of yards, but not anymore. This video proves this.
The video that is going viral now, was taken from a weather guy in Placida, Florida which is near Boca Grande, FL.
This looks to be around a 10 foot alligator and he easily noses his way through the slots of this fence and then it bends so he can get his entire body through it with no problem.

This Florida City Has Been Named One Of The Best Cities In The South
A Florida city has been named as one of the best cities in the South by Southern Living. We know that the state of Florida have some great cities, but only one is on the list. The list is voted on by the publication’s readers.
There are ten states on the list with four states that have three cities on their list. Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia are the states with the most cities. Many of these southern cities you have most likely visited and would probably visit again. I am surprised that more Florida cities aren’t on the list. Driving through Florida there are beautiful cities to visit, but this list didn’t name them. Maybe the publication’s readers will visit more cities in Florida and put them on next year’s list.
The Only Florida City On The List
Orlando is the only city in Florida to make the list. Orlando is home to the world for its amusement and theme parks. It is home to Gatorland, SeaWorld, Disney, Universal and many more attractions. Plus all of the many place to visit along International Drive and throughout the Orlando Area. It is also home to the Kia Center (formally Amway Center), home of the Orlando Magic. In actuality, there’s more to enjoy beyond the park walls than ever before. There are dozens of new restaurants in the area that get strong recognition, with the 2023 James Beard Foundation Awards nominating several Orlando chefs for top prizes.
When looking at this list I can totally understand the top cities. Southern Living says, “The South’s many metros are destinations that do it all. They’re hubs of art, culture, and cuisine, not to mention athletics and yes, even outdoor adventure.”
Even though one Florida cities made the list of best cities in the South we know Florida has the best cities. Check out the list below.
