After receiving your comment, I checked again, but found nothing, then tried new search words and found it.<br /><br />Thanks again for bringing this to my attention...next time, I will try to be more careful in checking the source. :)<br /><br />http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/gatordeer.aspJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16083702120097667613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071607692933192813.post-87104417880061804552010-02-25T01:32:40.574-05:002010-02-25T01:32:40.574-05:00KTBS is not an Alabama tv station-it is Shreveport...KTBS is not an Alabama tv station-it is Shreveport, LA.<br />It looks a little green for north alabama if this happen in Jan or Dec.

LOL<br /><br />If that's a alligator that, somehow, made it from Florida because of some of the hurricanes in recent history, I'd hate to think about the size of some of those snakes that can't be accounted for from when that happened!<br /><br />Yikes!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16083702120097667613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071607692933192813.post-10466019440541276472010-01-12T14:58:02.286-05:002010-01-12T14:58:02.286-05:00Jan, the size of that gator is amazing enough, but...Jan, the size of that gator is amazing enough, but to find it that far north...Hmmmm. <br />I grew up in South Frorida around the Everglades and we had some really large ones down there, but I didn't think they got that big. Down in the Florida Keys where we lived for a couple of years, there were some salt-water Crocodiles that that were well over twenty feet. We used to see them when we were fishing in the mangrove swamps north of Key Largo.<br />I am more amazed at how that Texas gator got all the way up to North Alabama anyhow.<br />Great post.

I know when the Spanish came to Florida they recorded some alligators of great length but I didn't know there were any still out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
