Florida woman poses for maternity photos with baby gator

https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/regional/florida/florida-woman-poses-for-maternity-photos-with-baby-gator/67-218a1161-0c7f-48f2-abaa-82f9c174dd29?fbclid=IwAR3WUXuRXR-0SPCHHTei1JVkbHw_pw60T-3qTj9p8tNXGE8rOvJ59nqRY3A

TAMPA, Fla. — What's more Florida than a gator?

Well, it would certainly be difficult to top a maternity shoot of a to-be mom breastfeeding a baby gator.

"Last minute practice for baby. Alligators don't like to bottlefeed, apparently...," mom-to-be Lindsey Tuttle wrote in her Facebook post.

Tuttle has gotten the internet's attention with her maternity photo featuring a baby gator, shotgun, a case of Bud Light and a Florida flag. It only adds to the 'Florida' photo with the unzipped jean shorts and rubber boots.

I was never in the state while pregnant, but I had pregnant friends and co-workers before I left and when I came back and this is not in any way typical of pregnant women in this state. Yes, sadly, there are obviously some really stupid rednecks here, including the woman in the photo, but she is totally not representative of the women in FL- not even in the slightest. My daughter's' friend is pregnant, for the third time with the first 2 non-viable. She is a Republican, but very moderate, and would be absolutely horrified at this idiotic risk.

That it was intentionally planned to be an over the top version of Florida Woman. She said that she hated those traditional photos of the pregnant woman as a forest goddess, and since they were both native floridians and thought Florida Man was funny, they got the idea to do this. And it is actually really funny, once you know they're doing it as a joke and with supervision by a pro.
