I know it's Monday and I hate to start the week off with a scare, but I've pretty much decided that living in Florida, we're not safe anywhere when it comes to wildlife -- and I have the headlines to prove it.
But first, there are a few other things you should know.

🏈 UCF in AP Poll
OK, now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's talk about what really matters: UCF's No. 17 ranking in the Associated Press preseason Top 25 poll. Here's what I have to say about it: "Go Knights, Charge On!" Browse the full list to see how other college football teams ranked.
🐊 Fence your fears
In less than a week, Floridians have heard about a shark bite, a kinkajou attack -- which I'll explain in a second -- and now, a gator that jumped a fence faster than Colton Underwood during his season of "The Bachelor." (Click here if that reference doesn't make sense.) Anyway, my point is that I've been living around a pond the last year, which my neighbor swears is filled with gators, and all this time, I thought I was safe on my side of the fence. Nope. See the video of the fence-climbing gator that will keep you inside forever.
🚪 Keep out, kinkajous
Perhaps inside isn't safe either. Let me guess, you read the story above and thought, "What on earth is a kinkajou?" Well, I'm sure that's what this Florida man was thinking when the rainforest raccoon-like creature barged into his apartment and attacked him. So you agree -- we're not safe anywhere? Get the details on the attack and find out what wildlife officials did with the animal.
🗳️ WOULD YOU RATHER?
Now that you're probably terrified of every creature ever, let's do a little Monday daydreaming. I posted this poll on my Facebook earlier asking my followers if they'd rather get a three-day weekend every week, or have every Wednesday off as a little midweek break? Click here to see their responses and cast your own vote. We may never get either, but a girl can dream, can't she?💭
