Remember about 50 years ago when gators were “endangered” by poaching and no hunting of them for skins was allowed?

Mother Nature has a way of reminding us that without our tools, we aren’t the top of the food chain.

Yeah - crocodiles and I have an agreement. They don’t eat me and I don’t visit their living rooms.

What about caymans?
To me they are all giant water lizards.

Lesson? We need to finish taming this planet. We need to get rid of all the creatures of Pandora’s box (biting flies, mosquitos, chiggers, ticks fleas...), all disease organisms, all poisonous creatures, four or five species of sharks, gaters, crocs and anything else which makes swimming dangerous to humans... Sort of an anti-green agenda.

I went diving up in Alexander Springs. The water is crystal clear and about 72 degrees.
There used to be a 9 foot gator that laid in the warm water on the edge watching all the swimmers and divers.

By recent count, weve got OVER 3,000 gators in the lake behind our Florida house. Some enterprising young capitalist needs to move in and start an alligator shoe and handbag business in your house.
Got room for me?

Go for it!
And please keep us all updated on how it's going.

I had a teacher who was also my best friend’s Mother. She once told the class a great story of her Grandfather killing an 18 foot alligator on the Choctawhatchee River around the turn of the century. No not this century, that century.
That is either a record or close. Yes I believe her due to some of the details.

I feel badly for the poor man, but these guys REALLY had a bad time of it.
"The scattered rifle shots in the pitch black swamp punctured by the screams of wounded men crushed in the jaws of huge reptiles, and the blurred worrying sound of spinning crocodiles made a cacophony of hell that has rarely been duplicated on earth. At dawn the vultures arrived to clean up what the crocodiles had left
Of about 1,000 Japanese soldiers that entered the swamps of Ramree, only about 20 were found alive.

When I was a kid here in Florida, local shops were chock full of alligator leather products. My mother used to get all kinds of gator leather purses.
