They were here first, a little respect please, but to kill rather than call for someone to remove is not the way to handle them.

Two gators in yards at the Haciendas of Mission Hills, a two foot one tonight and a bigger one the other day!

Default Destroying of Natural Habitat

Unfortunately the powers-to-be decided to use part of their natural habitat there in Mission Hills to build more homes! Just look and admire nature while u can because man is destroying it on a daily basis.

Hopefully the people in Mission Hills will keep their doggy doors closed since mating season is starting up.
Last season a huge alligator was crossing Buerna Vista at Palmer and when the Sheriff came to help stop traffic the alligator took a big bite out of his fender. They shot and killed the alligator.

So true. I've been here long enough to see beautiful rural land have all the big old oak trees cut down and swamps dry up both in and near by The Villages.

Default Belly Up!

Saw something I have never seen before. I was playing Cane Garden on the Allamanda nine. On the 3rd hole, the ambassador pointed out what I thought was an island with birds on it in the pond to the left of the hole. It was an alligator belly up, dead with a ?buzzard? feasting on it.

This is the first time I have ever seen a dead alligator except when it is an appetizer at Gator Joes......

You are all very lucky I did not have my camera with 12:1 zoom
