Yesterday an eleven foot long alligator was removed from one of the neighborhoods in the Village of Pine Hills.

It was found just outside the homeowner's front door.

April and May is mating season for alligators and they wander around out of their usual areas.. It is hard for animal lovers to watch, but a large alligator is a danger to people and pets and they will be removed and killed.

Lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth over this everyday event on the .com V-News .

6 large gators over 6 feet long one a good 8 foot on Evans prairie this morning not in ponds, but walking the course, most without a caddy

Were they keeping the " Pace of Play" or were they playing too slowly ?

Does anyone know where in Pine Hills that ENORMOUS alligator was wrangled yesterday? 😳

I don't know what to think or say! Can you imagine the poor people who had this animal on their property? There goes sitting outside on a nice night. You really need to be aware of your surroundings at all times. A friend of ours had a black snake come up near her and her daughter when they were innocently sitting on the front porch. I know the animals were here first but it is an eye-opener for a city boy. I guess our animal problem really isn't a problem at all. Frog's a go-go. They are loud and dirty but at least they are not going to be seen on Swamp People. We need Troy Landry. Or our favorite Alligator woman, Mrs. Elizabeth.

Where the preserve homes are is what I heard.

It is a newer area...last three years? South of 466A and I think in Lake County.

But..........alligators are all over Florida and during late April and May they wander away from home, searching for mates and behaving erratically.

They DO attack people and DO eat pets.

I admit I hate to see a film with someone prodding them. We both think that was so the alligator would roll and wrap itself in the rope so that it's mouth can be taped closed.

The men were doing their job. One I wouldn't want.

OMG -- my worst nightmare.

New shoes and belts!

Well that would make sense with all the water down there.
