Either way it's a shame he couldn't be left alone

Both. Too bad.

You don't see dead cattle in a cattle car.

The 11 pm news said Larry relocated to Orlando.

That is great news. They brought him to Gatorland.

Doubt Larry had a happy end.

Why does the FWC not relocate nuisance alligators in Florida?
Florida has a healthy and stable alligator population. We have about 1.3 million alligators in Florida. Alligators live in all 67 counties, and they inhabit all wild areas of Florida that can support them. The removal of nuisance alligators does not have a significant impact on our state's alligator population.

Relocated alligators often try to return to their capture site. They can create problems for people or other alligators along the way. If an alligator successfully returns, capturing it again would be necessary and likely more difficult the second time.

To avoid creating a problem at the release site, nuisance alligators would need to be relocated to remote areas where they would not encounter people. These remote areas already have healthy alligator populations, and the ones that already live there have established social structures. The introduction of a new alligator to these areas would likely cause fighting, possibly resulting in the death of a resident alligator or the introduced alligator.

:ohdear: Telling you all for the last time...... his name is "Boots"!

Nice to hear. 'Larry' the alligator finds new home

Just saw a report on 6 News, Larry was 11 feet long and weighed about 600 pounds. He has been relocated to Gatorland and from the video didn't look happy.....but, he has playmates. The interviews stressed that he wasn't afraid of humans so he was a threat and that was because "we" were feeding him.....that's BS because I don't see any gators here that are afraid of humans.

Larry was removed two years ago.

Larry is now an appetizer at Lopez.


:D

Larry the Alligator from the Villages... - Gatorland Orlando There's Larry, in Gatorland. There's the sign, on the fence at Gatorland. Larry is alive and well, in the company of over a hundred other gators, with plenty of wildlife for his entertainment and dining pleasure, in a MUCH larger environment than what he'd experienced as a result of being figuratively boxed in by Villages construction.

An animal like that can only eat so many guppies before it starts looking for a tasty Maltese, or grand-son, to whet his appetite.

I agree Jo Mar and I swear they said 800 pounds. I will not miss old Larry.

Love your posts. You bring decency and common sense into the discussions and FACTS.

D'awww, thanks!
