　　Richard Jones was walking with his family in the Ocala National Forest when they spotted the alligator.

　　照片是在周日上午拍下的，之后在网上引起了轰动。

　　Mr Jones told local television station WFTV that he "snapped a lucky picture right when the gator slipped into the water and before the raccoon jumped off and scurried away".

　　琼斯告诉本地电视台WFTV，他“就在鳄鱼滑入水中，浣熊跳开窜走之前，他幸运的拍到了一张照片。”

　　"Without the context you'd think the raccoon was hitching a ride across the river," he told the television station.

　　他告诉电视台，“忽略事件前后的话，你会觉得浣熊是在搭车过河。”
