There was nothing funny about Hurricanes Helene and Milton. They brought devastation to the Southern United States, and many lost their homes and all of their belongings. But some will say that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and it seems a Florida alligator agrees. Tracy Kirkpatrick captured pictures of an alligator on a perfectly made bed floating in a canal near her Suwannee home.

The Alligator Looked Pretty Comfortable On The Bed
We may never understand how some things survive a hurricane, like perfectly tucked sheets on mattresses, but this gator doesn’t seem to care. Tracy posted the photos on Facebook with the caption, “We have all wondered whose bed was in the canal. Now we know. It’s the Alligator’s.”
A friend joked, “He just wanted a water bed.”
This person wondered if the mattress owner had come forward. “Has anyone claimed the mattress or the alligator?”
That’s a negative from Tracy. “Nope. We are still waiting for that.”
Someone else snickered at the new alligator bed. “This is the funniest picture! He saw a good opportunity lol.”
People couldn’t believe what they were seeing. This alligator looked so bold, perched on the bed in the water, soaking up rays without a care in the world.
Suwanee resident Diane Strickland shared the post, writing, “We love our wildlife so much here in Suwannee that we keep them as comfortable as possible.”
Diane commented that the mattress has been floating “up and down our canals” since Hurricane Helene on September 26.
She joked, “It emphasizes the need to make sure your bed is properly made every day as you never know what will happen.”
This person couldn’t believe it. “I can’t imagine how it stayed made. Apparently, that gator’s been eyeing it. That is a great photo catch.”
