In Cross Creek, FL, outside of Gainesville, where Marjorie Rawlings lived and wrote about the Yearling, there is (or was) a restaurant called, "The Yearling" One of their specialties was "The Cross Creek Special" which consisted of gator, turtle, frog legs and cat fish. All deep fried of course. You felt like you'd died and gone to heaven. We drive all the way down from Jacksonville to eat there. I'm sure if any of these creatures had been around they'd added them to the mix.
