That sign’s there after learning the hard way that gators will leap up and eat a juicy baby if you dangle it out there like a piece of chicken.

If there’s a more convenient way to get rid of a child, I don’t want to know about it

In Europe the red circle means “no [whatever is inside the circle]”. It took me a while to figure that out as a Californian.

And to make matters more confusing, a red circle crossed out means “cancel the No from before” so like the end of a loading zone or the end of a no parking zone.

That gator plays the maraccas.

I know what this means

It is not remotely intuitive that it means that

A gator yelling at a careless parent for putting their child in a precarious position is a weird thing to put on a sign…

We live near a park with alligators in an exhibit, they are well fed and lounge on the banks of a little pond, with some turtles, sunning themselves - so I always let my kids lean over the railing, not touch them or anything but I didn’t worry about it since they were fed & lazy.

Until one day, we saw one of them lunge at a turtle and grab it, moving so fast! Crunch crunch gulp. Which disabused me of two wrong ideas. One, that these alligators did not care to have a snack, and two, that nothing but eagles could eat turtles. Someone had told me that no animal could bite through a turtle shell, but that eagles would drop them from a great height to crack them open, and since I’d never seen another animal eat a turtle, I bought it.

So after that, no more leaning over.

Ahh so location please been looking for where to dispose of my unwanted infants it also is a plus i will be helping feed the local wildlife.

When feeding consider size

But please only feed organic children to the crocodiles.

There isn’t a sign “do not feed” either so…
