Yes there looks to be a lot of meat under this guy's dome

. There were plenty of nice sized gators sunning themselves as well, but they told me the water in the Everglades is full of mercury from an old sugar plant nearby, so it is eat at your own risk

Wow. That's... a bit terrifying in fact. I wouldn't mess with this. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Bertrand. I was happy to get within camera range, but no closer.
