Good observation. I agree with your questioning.

I saw one once although I couldn’t tell you how big it was but it was huge. my daughter and I were pulling into the main parking lot at the Cape Canaveral visitors center and this thing just lumbers out of the swamp on one side of the road, crossed and then slithered into the swamp on the other side. There are signs up on the sidewalk which has chains on the outer side that say, Danger, DO NOT GET OFF THE SIDEWALK!

“”It’s a testament to Georgia’s alligator-management program that alligators can grow to this size,””

WHAT? I wouldn’t exactly call it a “testament” as if that were a good thing. We have a creek behind our house and I don’t go near it because of snakes but something like this could be lurking???? I think it would need a lot more room and water but who is going to check it out? Not me for sure.

“ They could have taken him to a bigger swamp I think”.

Washington is full of even worse critters. Taking him there would be animal cruelty.

The sidewalk doesn’t sound any safer. What you need is alligator crossing signs so the alligators know where to cross. (Lol) :)

Lived near Everglades for several years. Gators in the driveway, gator in the pool one morning. They were relocated.

My first huge gator encounter was in the Sabine national wildlife refuge of Southern Louisiana Was minding my own business walking along a nature trail in the wetlands and ran up on a middle aged local woman who was carrying a grocery bag.

She asked me if I'd like to see an alligator. I replied affirmatively and she went off the path near some reeds, pulled out a whole chicken from her bag, picked up a loose branch and began whacking the reeds with a stick. In a nanosecond the nearby water exploded with fury and out sprang a 13 foot gator with mouth wide open!!! Nearly shat my pants...she tossed the chicken in its mouth, which was promptly swallowed, and back it slithered into the water.

Turns out the gator had been blinded by some kids shooting it with bb-guns and this kind lady was regularly tending the beast!

Nah, gator would have to have been found 45 minutes south-east of Thibodeau, Louisiana.
