What is in the Gator's mouth
 
12 foot alligator on pond bank off of Pinellas before Buena Vista with something huge and white in its mouth. Anyone know what it was?

If the gator is really 12'-call animal control--its extremely dangerous

Why would a 12' be anymore dangerous that a 6'.
If the gator is not doing anything to effect humans, why call in the executioner?

Who would you rather be hit by Sally Field or the Rock ? Which one gives you a better opportunity to escape further harm?

I saw him and I think it was Fred. Is Fred missing? Anyone heard from him?

It's a very, very large turtle (24-30 inches across). He has had it since about 7AM. We've watched him all day from the time he caught it and he's still there with it in his mouth. Occasionally he "throws" it up in the air and "catches" it. Is that usual to take all day to eat such a large catch. The gator is quite large also...12+ feet.

Probably can't crack the shell.

Again, people, the gators were here long before we were. They're not dangerous unless people go stupid and start messing around with them. Leave the gators alone and don't go whining to FWC every time you see a gator and think it is dangerous. The odds of getting attacked by an alligator is 1 in 24,000,000; the odds of getting bit by a poisonous snake is 1 in 37,500; I can't recall the last time I saw a post regarding poisonous snakes.

Are you serious? A six foot gator can give you a nasty bite. A twelve foot gator can take off your leg and kill you.

While it's true, gators are not usually aggressive, they are sometimes unpredictable and attack humans for no apparent reason. Generally when they get to be more than 8 feet on golf courses they are removed.

No reptile hysteria please. No need to worry. They generally like to eat things they can handle, not humans, plus they say we smell bad to them?

I have witnessed them eating large turtles whole. But white?
