Yeah that happened in Boca Raton, and there were a few other attacks there. I was photographing one in the 'Glades (Loxahatchee Wildlife refuge which is just north of Boca) and he did not attack me but came out of the water and hissed. After he went back in, I continued trying to get get some shots. He came back out and hissed again. I backed off. A few minutes later he came out onto the leveee and just started rolling around acting cute. He saw me but let me alone and then took off in the other direction. I thought I'd eventually have a weird encounter with a gator, not one of these guys.
As for dogs on the mail route- I had a female pit crunch down on y right hand. I just stood perfectly still while her owner came out and whacked her on the head with a cast iron pan. Serious. 37 stitches. In the same neighborhood, a few years later, 2 adults and one kid killed by pits. My other 3 bites were from sheperds--22 stitches total from those.
But I now some realy sweet pits, so I dont know what to think here.
