Looking at his picture I can't say I'm surprise.

At least he left his wallet on shore, so they know who he is. Er, was.

Is that t-shirt the one he left on shore?

I guess he didn’t believe the allegations.

I have (yet another) dumb question:
Are they a protected species? Can’t understand why they weren’t eradicated when civilization arrived.

Obviously the stupid alligators didn’t even bother to read the sign.

Saw a show years ago on alligators and crocs.
Some research professor (in FL) would go swimming with alligators armed with only a wooden dowel, 14, maybe 18" long at best, to push off any that actively came up to him.
Probably the inspiration for the Oliver Platt character.

Where in Texas do you live? I just read that gators might be as far west as Waco. That’s where my brother lives. They said there might be gators in Lake Waco where I went on a boat one time. Didn’t see any gators though.
To: BenLurkin
You can say ‘blank the alligators’ if you go in with a mob of people but if you go in alone (or wander too far from the mob) you are just feeding the alligators.

It’s when you got flying alligators you’re in deep kim-chee.
Was that racist?

"protected species"
What do you mean? the idiot or the gator?
To: BenLurkin
Late night swim, how much you want to bet alcohol was involved. Gator grabbed him, rolled, then took him to the bottom to drown. They say it was 11 foot - skinny guy never had a chance against 800+ lbs.
Feel bad for the girls he was with...must be terrifying
To: BenLurkin
Alligators used to be protected and on the endangered species list. Look what happened with that idea!
