FYI. I'm not sure they have captured the gator, as I drove by there the other day, and the bait traps(large poles with meat on a hook dangling above the water) were still there?! If they haven't, at this point, I don't think they ever will(definintely capture THAT gator)?
And, there are alot of myths about the dangers of alligators. They can't chew, so all they can do is drown their victims, and allow them to rot, so they can ingest them. That gator left the dog floating in the pond. I also know/met one of the divers retrieving golf balls from the ponds. He's been bitten about a dozen times, with no real serious injuries. He carries a stick, and pokes them around the eyes, and they swim off. I met him(and watched) while working the golf courses.
