Yes...they were being carried away by Skunk Ape! (LOL)



This rumor is based on uneducated civilians running across hognose snakes in the glades and not knowing what they are.



The Everglades has recently gained a lot of attention for it's new residents. Another popular myth was that a disgruntled breeder turned lose dozens of western diamondback rattlers there. Also someone claimed the introduction of gravid female Fla Kings at Brooks canal-the purpose to breed out the more yellow "Brooksi" and thus protect them from collectors.



And no...the Lockness Monster is not there either.
