Yep, that was a real big lizard. Probably close to big as they grow.

They will set up at ambush points where they have been successful in the past.

there have been gators killed with tracking collars in their gut...

 

[Core Lokt]

Yes SIr there have but I don't think there were tracking collars in 1932

 

[Core Lokt]

It had some big teef too. I can stick my thumb in most tooth holes

 

[Nicodemus]

I wonder if it might have been a crocodile?

 

[Core Lokt]

Grandaddy said alligator so I guess he knew the difference between the two??
