Don't think this gator is the perp from recent attacks, though the
article does state the gator that attacked TN girl in Ocala has been captured (12ft bull).
To: stainlessbanner
Either those people in the background are very small or that critter is smokin' big. Sheesh.

How do they KNOW they caught the right gator?? Don't they all look alike?? Is there a gator lineup?

The article is a little confusing. I don't think the gator pictured was an attacker, he is a
nusiance gator that was bothering residents or showed aggression. State trappers will remove the animals if they are endangering people.
The Ocala gator (not pictured) is a 12-ft bull - trappers think they got the attacker in Juniper Run.

Wow... is he still alive? He's quite a marvel and deserves a refuge somewhere... In a petting zoo for adrenaline junkies perhaps. :~D
To: HairOfTheDog
We had a 14ft 1200 pounder at a local refuge. He can barely move - just eats hot dogs and sits on the bank all day.

He's a beauty, that one is, mate!

I know. But I still don't understand how they can pick ONE gator and say "THAT'S the one!!!"

I've never heard of a "nuisance" alligator. What do they do, play their stereos at full blast, make crank phone calls, ring your doorbell to ask you if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Personal Savior?
To: bonfire
Yeah, they all look alike to me!

The Ocala gator (not pictured) is a 12-ft bull - trappers think they got the attacker in Juniper Run.I canoed that run last year. Didn't see any gators that day, much less a monster like the one they caught. Just damn.

When you see an arm hanging out of its' mouth, you shout........."that's the one!!!" (sorry about being a smarta**, but I couldn't resist!)
