If you live in South Florida, do NOT go into the water!!

Literally tens of thousands of sharks were seen off the coast, right in the shallow water.

A lifeguard supervisor for a South Florida beach said:

"We got here this morning and they were thick, really thick. They were frenzied and chasing bait all the way up to shore. They were practically right on the sand."

A biology professor who was tracking the migration of the sharks said that he counted over 15,000 sharks less than 200 yards from shore!!

The risk of attack is apparently pretty low because the water is so clear, a shark can more easily distinguish humans from prey.

But they're still scary, and dozens of beaches in South Florida are still closed.

We recommend everyone just stay OUT of the water!!

Check out the video (above) to see dozens of sharks swimming just off the coast.

After a month of hunting the Florida Everglades for Burmese pythons, the Python Challenge is coming to close…

And for most…it was a HUGE WASTE OF TIME!!!!

Only 50 pythons were killed for the event, as 1,500 hunters from 30 states and Canada ran wild thru the swamp and came up with nothing to show for it.

Which is pretty weird…considering there are 150,000 Burmese pythons in the Glades!

Thankfully, no one was injured while hunting but as these snakes have proven, Burmese pythons are quite evasive and GREAT at camouflage.

Oh well…better luck next year we guess…although we still wish there was a better way of doing this.

Just sayin….

Have you ever heard on a okapi?!?!?! We sure haven't but we're madly in love with this little one!

Parents Zack and Betty welcomed this bundle of CUTEness in early January and the three week old is already 96 pounds!

There are only 100 okapis in captivity in the States, and they are currently listed as "Threatened" on the endangered species list.

This calf is the zoo's first birth of 2013 and we're sure the zoo will love having this new addition!

Congrats on the beautiful babe, Lowry Park!

Science???? Who needs science when you have animal instincts!

Holly the cat didn't let a measly 190 miles separate her from her mama and papa, Bonnie and John Richter.

So the tough tortoiseshell kitty walked all the home!

Scientists have no idea how the indoor cat made the trip from Daytona Beach to West Palm Beach, FL. There is no research about cats and their navigation skills so the science world is STUMPED!

DO NOT FEED THE FISH!!! THEY WILL EAT YOU!!!!

A tarpon is a fish that LOVES to eat and if you're not careful, it will EAT YOU TOO!!!

An unlucky fish feeder just wanted to feed fish in Florida, much like other visitors to Robbie's of Islamorada.

Unfortunately, his arm was just too tantalizing to resist!

LOLz!

Sad…just shows how far people will go to win an election..

Florida governor Rick Scott has given up a pooch he had for less than a year, and many believe the pooch was just a political move.
