Well rounded athlete

A 13 foot alligator captured in Hilton Head, South Carolina was a living, breathing sporting goods store. Once captured, authorities got an incite into the reptile's diet...


Trappers who opened the gator's stomach found 53 fishing lures, a half-pound of lead sinkers, a soccer ball, two baseballs, one tennis ball and two other balls that were unidentifiable because they had been partially digested. They also found a 4-foot gator. 

That discovery, plus other meals that included two turtles, a beer can and 48 rocks suggest the 13-foot gator ate just about anything, said Mark Carinus, who assists Critter Management with trapping and harvesting nuisance gators.

Baby alligator found on Lockwood Ave.; long neck goose and unicorn still at large

WIVB reports that a baby alligator was seized from a home on Lockwood Avenue today by the SPCA. No big surprise there. It would have been news if they raided an apartment on Lockwood and didn't find an exotic pet, marijuana plants, meth lab,etc.

I think they should set aside one day a year where anyone can go and dump their exotic pets off at Tifft Farms with no questions asked. Forget deer and birds, why not make it a true place for adventure? No word yet on who tipped the SBCA off, but we're pretty sure the word "babydaddy" was used at some point during the investigation...

Hey Lord,'

'I've got green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I'm so forlorn,
I just can't find no unicorns!'

Stay away from Georgia

A guy in Georgia went out fishing and saw hundreds of alligators, in what scientists are calling a rare "cooperative feeding". (I think I saw the same thing once at Tops on South Park and Bailey Ave.) Of course, he did what any normal redneck would do in this situation: He drove his boat right through them...

"I saw the video, but haven't been it (cooperative feeding) before myself," said Refuge Biologist Sarah Aicher. "Others who have been here longer said they saw it happen once around the (Suwannee River) sill area, where there were a large congregation of mud-fish, and the alligators had a communal feeding of the mud-fish. The alligators, somehow, get a signal and congregate and feed. It's a mystery how they do that."

"I aint never seen so many gators in my life!"Here is the bizarre video:
