Used to play the Jekyll Island courses here in Georgia. Lots of gators. A nice 8' sleeping less than 20' from the tee box one day. Another time, stepfather hit his drive and it rolled up against a piece of wood on the fairway. Except when we got to his ball it was rolled up against the side of 7' gator taking a nap. I let him take a free drop. We don't freak out over gators around here, but we don't crowd them either.

MEDFORD, Ore.—A Eugene, Oregon man who formerly resided in Southern Oregon pleaded guilty today in federal court to violating the Lacey Act by illegally importing and exporting hundreds of live scorpions.
...
According to court documents, between September 4, 2017 and March 21, 2018, Drake imported and exported dozens of live scorpions from and to contacts in Germany without first obtaining an import-export license from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). On one parcel intercepted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Drake falsely labeled the package contents as “chocolates.” Drake also mailed or received several hundred live scorpions from other U.S. states, including Michigan and Texas, in violation of federal mailing laws.
