I found a 5 foot alligator in my backyard and have no idea how it got in there because I have a concrete wall and fenced in.
Tried to post a picture, but wasn't able to

If you keep looking through my videos, you might even find another little hidden gem or two. A few days ago, I saw an exciting interaction between 2 alligators. One alligator had killed another alligator, of which that part I did not witness. But I did videotape the rest of what happened. Here is the link to one of my videos of what happened afterwards: https://youtu.be/A-VF6hUgihc?si=QNfAtBko6Vzp9mpA

Do you ever come across snakes on your walk/jog?

Once you hit reply, you might have to then click on "Go advanced" to upload your picture. But I'm not exactly sure.

When I first saw the post I was thinking of Katie Bells about 20 years ago on a Friday night.
