This evening, MacDill Air Force Base had an unusual visitor as Airman Ally Gator made an appearance near the Med Group. While the friendly announcement joked about booking complaints with the new ‘airman,’ it served as a crucial reminder to respect wildlife. Alligators, capable of sprinting up to 20 mph, are a common sight near Florida’s bodies of water. For everyone’s safety, it’s essential to avoid approaching these powerful creatures. A big thank you to Ms. EllenGray Schroeder for capturing the moment and reminding us all to stay safe around our wild neighbors. Credits to: https://www.facebook.com/CityofTampa/ siteadmin
