Default Alligator on sidewalk
Coming home from Sumter Square I passed a gator only a foot away from the golf cart path on St. Charles just before Pennecamp Drive I reported my findings to the golf ambassador and when I left he was parked a few feet from the gator waiting for assistance. He suspected the critter was trying to cross the road to the lake on the other side of the street. Not sure if the golf course was Bonita Pass or Cane Garden.

There are several photos floating around amongst my contacts of a Big Guy exploring the neighborhood just inside the Sunset Pointe gate earlier this week. I'm guessing better than six feet!

The Cat tries to catch the little anoles. I'm hoping that our somewhat raised lanai won't tempt her to chase after a 'gator!

I think he may have been searching for the girl 'gator who was seen in Belvedere last year!

Yes Steve. This feller was big...maybe a 6 footer. I just hope they don't destroy him as rumors say happens when a gator strays. I had to report it before some jogger or walker was attacked

He hasn't chosen his club yet. He's just looking before he decides. Most likely he will need a long iron and make a Bubba type recovery shot. He appears to be way off course.

The Villages would do better by the residents by constructing gator crossings

Last time I saw Fumar, he was wearing alligator shoes. Was wondering where he got them?

Boy, I'm glad nobody said he was carrying an alligator pocketbook!
