He does a nice death roll on the street. If you want to see what a gator does when he gets your arm/leg in its mouth that is it!

 So much for taking a stroll in the moonlight.
Poor critter, just out of its natural area, wait, We have invaded its home.
My neighbor's son lives down around Miami , I think. Last name Hardwick. Does the animal trapping. Give me an alligator in the open rather than a very large snake under a house. Second thought, give me none  ------------- '11 Forest River r.pod 171 '10 Ford Edge ESCAPE POD Trudi and Austin mini-schnauzers change here, Trudi has gone, Austin now has a small black schnauzer buddy, Bentley |

Just have to remember that a gator can outrun any person. Terry ------------- RP-175 W/Lift Kit 2011 Ford F-150 4X4 Saint Augustine, FL: The first permanent European settlement in the USA: 1565 |

Looking at the video , I was a little unsettled with the policeman walking that near the gator
They move very fast and could do a lot of damage in a split second. Either it was further away than it seemed OR his person was letting hi Macho over rule is common sense. ------------- '11 Forest River r.pod 171 '10 Ford Edge ESCAPE POD Trudi and Austin mini-schnauzers change here, Trudi has gone, Austin now has a small black schnauzer buddy, Bentley |

I thought the same thing. If he was as close as it looked he was being kind of dumb. Terry ------------- RP-175 W/Lift Kit 2011 Ford F-150 4X4 Saint Augustine, FL: The first permanent European settlement in the USA: 1565 |
