GATOR LOUNGES AROUND WITH A BLOW-UP BUDDY!

A LAZY gator grabbed its own piece of the Sunshine State — by lounging on an alligator float in a backyard pool!

Georgia resident Dave Jacobs was renting a vacation home in Miami with his family when they noticed the reptile in a nearby lake.

Their dog, Rascal, spent the day barking at it, he said. “We thought that was pretty cute,” said Dave — until the beast popped up in the pool the next day!

A gator wrangler eventually fished it out of the water.

“We have gators in Georgia,” Dave added, “but they’re just in areas that are not as populated, like some swamp where no one lives.

“But in Florida, they’re in your neighborhoods!”
