Our Florida place is surrounded on 2 sides by pond/marsh with more large wilderness beyond, and it's definitely Wild Kingdom out there.
So I'm very glad to learn about these guys before they just showed up. "North Florida" by map is about 5 minutes away. 
Typically about 100 pounds, 2 feet at the shoulder. Uhuh. (Btw, they're apparently "fast" on those wobbly little legs.)
That affectionate little guy grooming the dog clued me in right away to what I just read -- they live in groups. They're also good-natured herbivores and get along with most animals. I don't believe the nonsense about crocodiles being included; we have alligators and I don't care to see them meet. But now if a family comes visiting I won't be running for my own life.
