Surprise Guest For A Trucker-An 8 Foot Gator!!!

I live about 60 miles south of Tuscaloosa. Several years ago there was supposed to be something like a 15 foot gator near Meridian/Toomsuba, MS area, stretched across Hwy 59.

 

And there you have it. This gator could be a distant relative. Decent amount of swampland along I-59 between Tuscaloosa and Meridian.

 

Plane hits gator on Orlando airport runway. Plane wins.
Here's a vivid thought.

 

Geeze, I'd heard about some of the people down there that were lacking in intelligence. I had no idea that the alligators were also that.

 

Well to a fault Orlando Executive Airport sits next to two lakes that are infested with alligators.
Interesting footnote:Orlando International Airport on the outskirts of the city literally has ponds there stocked with alligators as a natural security deterrent(note the absence of chain link fences around the ramp and gate areas).Reportedly in one of those ponds they have a 13 footer named "Samsonite" in there.
