An alligator in The Villages found the ultimate way to beat the Florida heat—by floating right in the middle of a local pond, not too hot on the shore and not too chilly underwater. Residents spotted the gator lounging comfortably for hours, perfectly content in its chosen spot. It’s a classic Florida moment that reminds us how wildlife adapts to our neighborhoods.
