I mean...really ... think about it... Somehow I am more afraid of a gator than a tree -- although I suppose a tree could poison a gator, somehow the gator seems more ferocious in my mind's eye...so I bet on the Gator...purely for academic reasons:

Aesculus globra vs. mississippiensis

Ohio Buckeye, or Fetid Buckeye, is native to North America and generally has a short trunk and low branching structure. The leaves release an unpleasant odor when crushed. This is because all parts of the tree itself are poisonous. Ohio Buckeye is one of the first trees to lose leaves in autumn and turns a brilliant orange and yellow. The fruit of the Ohio Buckeye is prickly and falls to the ground in late summer.

Although most Floridians have learned to coexist with alligators, the potential for conflict always exists. Because of their predatory nature and large size, alligators can, and occasionally do, attack pets. Regretfully, humans, too, occasionally are attack victims and in rare instances are killed by large alligators. Between 1973 and 1990, 127 alligator attacks on humans were documented with five of those resulting in fatalities. Although this number of attacks may seem high, they constitute a very small percentage of water- related incidents compared to those involving water skiing, scuba diving and boating mishaps.

Hey, Spence, sorry for being late, but I owe Dossenator 25 CFP Bucks for a bet we had that got in late.

Thanks.
