| What if there were a few scimitar toothed cats like Homotherium or Dinofelis running around in some of our more remote National Forests ? |

Yeah, but what about the Crypto-Critters who stay holed-up during the day and go 'a slinking' through neighborhoods during late to early hours.
Those "What the fresh hell waz that !" moments while driving home from a second shift job, tavern, friends or family. Depending where you are, and if there is hardly to no other traffic. |

Well, though we've been pretty thorough we haven't screwed up all the land or catalogued every critter. Come down here to backwoods Florida for a spell, we'll hook you up with some good critters, some known and some not.
First things I learned of were the woodland and red widows, sisters to the black version. Then there was the Technicolor-yellow spider the size of a robin with the black fur tufts on its legs. The Huntsman spiders that challenged me for domination while I was repairing phone wires and insulation, had to shoot some of them with my staple gun. And that's just the eight-legged critters! We've got LOTS more...
Anyway, the known and semi-known species will keep you busy enough you won't bother shaving the hair off an ugly dog and taping it, or trying to pass off a man in a gorilla suit as Bigfoot.
Got gators?

No thanks, I lived down there for a spell close to 30 years ago. Too hot and flat for me. |

Kinda hot, definitely flat. I'm a much better shot with staple-guns than I used to be...saw a mosquito last night big enough they turned on the runway lights at the airport for him...
