[[I think the big boys take hogs and deer. Supposedly the gator in question was a 7 footer (not exceptionally large), so it probably rolled the child underwater then figured out it wasn’t prey and left. Sad. Gators are everywhere and can stay underwater for long periods of time, so we don’t really see how many there are. Check swimming pools before jumping in - they’ve been known to hang out in chlorinated water and salty water for brief periods.]]
Got plenty of friends that have lost hunting dogs to them .
The gator that took that kid had to be pushing 8 feet .
Lake Jessup is one of the target lakes for problem gators in the Orlando area. And they do transfer them there, FWIW.
Would you say that Florida has an overpopulation of alligators, and they need to be culled? Are the libs preventing that from happening? In my state, they are trying to introduce wolves and grizzly bears.
The larger ones need some serious culling .
