Specimen caught on hook and line

Caught in a minnow trap

Brooker Creek Preserve.

Note sure what kind but definitely guessing this lil guy is a fox. Didn't know Florida had foxes.

Newt also observed.

Greater than 48" long, very large girth. perfect condition.

Will try and find look back to give a more specific location in the county.

More specific county road for location will be added later hopefully.

Most likely hit by a car. It was on County road 349 not sure exactly where.

2 juveniles caught in glowstick-baited aquatic trap.

This photo was not staged and the animals are wild. They were untouched and shortly after the photos, the turtle slid into the pond with the alligator.

I'm a bird guy, so the ID is my guess - I welcome corrections.

Rat snake constricted the RBWO for at least 20-30 minutes, but the bird eventually got away.
