I use to hear tales about this beast in the Ocala, National Forest. I also had been a Lifeguard at Alexander Springs, FL for 2 years. My experience in the trails at Alexander Springs nearly lead me to believe. Through out the forest along the trails the woods are thick and heavily covered in an underbrush palm. You can learn about that kind of wooded environment here.
