Huge Gator on the Lawn
 
Right now, there is a huge gator that looks to be about 8 feet long on the lawn of someones house at the corner of triggerfish and buttonwood. Community watch is on the scene and about 20 people are across the street watching it. Be careful out there when you are walking at night!

You are fast, Barry. The gator is still moving down the street, on his way to Red Fish

I took a few closeups. Hopefully I can brighten them up before posting

Please just leave the gator alone and it will find it's way back to it's home! Remember! This is that guy or gal's natural home....they were here first!!! Look, admire, don't feed,,,,Leave alone!!!

I agree, but unwarranted fears will have this gater put to death immediately.

I saw a vacuum package of gator meat in the LSL Winn Dixie last night. Near the fresh fish section in the back.
