Gators

Glad to hear it wasn't too bad - I can't imagine running over a full size gator like that. I ran over a dead dog (80+ lb golden retriever) at 80 mph a number of years ago. 18 wheeler and lifted truck in front of me both straddled it completely. I was pretty close behind cause traffic, so it came out of nowhere. Pretty sure I went airborne; thankfully no damage. Just a mess that baked into a disgusting crust in the Texas summer heat over the remaining 2 hours of my drive home

Lesson learned is I try not to follow too close. Especially in traffic where I may not have the room for an emergency evasive maneuver
