Sunday we received an email at the Florida Times-Union with two photos attached. The first photo was of a raccoon taking what appeared to be a ride atop an alligator in the area of the Ocala National Forest. The second image was a very serene view taken along the same route.
Mr. Richard Jones, who sent in the photos, claims his family was exploring along the Oklawaha River and observing wildlife when his son caused a commotion that spooked the lone raccoon.
That's when the startled raccoon decidely boarded the gator's back.
