Real Florida Man headlines: Alligators
No animal is more Florida than the alligator, and no Florida Man story is more Florida than the one where he decides the gator is the smaller problem. Florida has roughly 1.3 million wild alligators and a state wildlife commission that fields thousands of nuisance calls a year, which is how gators end up in swimming pools, drive-throughs, garages and, in at least one documented case, thrown through a restaurant window. The headlines below all come from real reporting; the trick in the game is that alligator stories are the easiest to fake because readers already expect the absurd.
86 verified headlines, newest first. Each one links to the article that reported it; the percentage shows how many players believed it when it appeared in the game against a fake.
