World's Largest Alligator: Swampy
This is out of order in this blog but I realized I never posted it... while venturing out and about in Christmas, FL, we stopped to meet Swampy. Swampy is big -- big enough to contain the gift shop, ticket counter and offices of Jungle Adventures. How long exactly is Swampy? "Pretty damn long!" is how many a website describes him. The staff is not what I'd call "covered in fairy dust". Swampy has been there since 1992.. and the total length comes in at: 200 feet, 1 inch! The actual theme park-type attraction that is behind Swampy (Jungle Adventures) isn't anything I'd spend $20 to see (that's the price for an adult's admission)... especially if you've been to Gatorland. But if in the area, stop in to meet Swampy... the largest gator in the world. I'm counting this as an experience in and of itself since this is listed as one of the most interesting/random Florida "roadside attractions".
