Lounge lizard! Alligator caught sunbathing on perfectly made bed floating down canal post-Milton

He made lemons into … Gatorade.A Florida alligator was photographed sunbathing on a neatly made bed floating in post-hurricane water — sparking a flood of cathartic jokes after a double whammy of storms took a bite out of the region.Tracy Kirkpatrick, of Suwannee, spotted the jaw-dropping sight in a nearby canal and snapped a shot that made a splash with locals on social media.“I had just come back from getting lunch…when I saw this gator.We had been wondering whose perfectly made bed had landed in the canal, well it was the gator’s water bed,” Kirkpatrick wrote on Facebook.The lounge lizard appears to be soaking in rays on the bed —  made with fitted sheets and a purple blanket miraculously still in place — as it bobs in the storm-ravaged waterway surrounded by debris.“We love our wildlife so much here in Suwannee that we keep them as comfortable as possible,” another resident, Diane Strickland,  quipped.Others cheered the relaxed reptile for making the best of a situation that, well, bites  — as some wondered how on earth the mattress “stayed made.”“It emphasizes the need to make sure your bed is properly made every day as you never know what will happen,” Strickland joked.The bed had been floating up and down the canal since Sept.
