Alligator sightings are a common thing if you live in the south, but a wave of the monstrous creatures made their presence felt over the final weekend in April. Several residents in Florida and Texas were sent into a panic as large gators stopped traffic, invaded porches, and even approached a Target store over the weekend.
The alligator invasion started in Florida on April 28, when an “aggressive” 11-foot reptile made its way onto the front porch of home in The Villages near Orlando. “The minute that it seen a person it immediately, you now, started to hiss and come toward the person and as I walked over closer to it, it wanted to bite me,” Al Roberts of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) said, via WKMG.

We fired our cannon ‘til the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fired another round
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind
And they kept a runnin’
FWIW, gators bug me less than bureaucrats. I’ll take more of the former over the latter any day.
Italian gators?
Tried it once, tasted like swampy chicken.
Mom and Dad lived in a condo in Pompano Beach. There was a pond that was surrounded by 3 large buildings. A sidewalk circled the pond. My parents condo, on the eighth floor, overlooked the pond.
Dad was having his coffee on his balcony one morning and saw a little old lady walking her small furry dog around the pond. As he watched, a 10 foot gator erupted out of the water, grabbed the dog, yanking the leash out of the old lady’s hand, and took it under the water.
No one knew a gator that large even lived in the water.
Fish and Wildlife tried to find and capture it for a week, but it evaded them.
The association put up warning signs and no one walked around that pond for many years.
I hear they have a taste somewhere between beef and chicken. My daughter dined on the mean near New Orleans. Louisiana is the only one of the 50 states which I’ve never set foot in.
.. it seen? LOL

It was spotted in July. Animal control made several attempts to capture it before they finally gave up in mid September. Then, the gator was out of the news. They found neither a live gator nor a dead carcass thereafter.
Speculation is that some joker drove it up from Florida or Georgia to stock in the reservoir.
If coyotes are that aggressive, kill ‘em at close range. I know, illegal to shoot in the ‘hood. But a crossbow would do the trick.
As for gators, I love that show where Cajuns go out in skiffs, set traps, dispatch snared gators with a .22 round, & attach game tags.
I propose that we build The Wall, and have the inner side of it lined with a 100-foot wide moat...filled with these critters.
That’ll solve the problem.
Those are members of NASA’s security staff.
Ugh, if there is one thing I hate it is alligators. Completely skeeves me out.
FL cracker speak! LOL!
There’s a few of them in my Alabama town. It seems about as far North as they can be.
BE, have you seen them? They’re a mile or so from Neptune. Right on Rifle Range Road (Elmore County Hwy 4) in the swamp right after the Hwy 229 stop sign and past the industrial park.
Fred Randall Huey on WACV reported a 10 footer down there sunning itself right in the road this past November.
They’re also supposed to be in the cove off of Anne Street, but I’ve never seen them there.
They don’t have much flavor frankly. But a good cook uses the barbecue sauce or what have you to enhance it and they are quite good.
Agreed ... thought it was a bit like a fishy pork roast.
