Gator on Big Pine Key

A pile of wood in a yard - Eden Pines Boat Ramp
This eight foot alligator was spotted in Eden Pines Subdivision, on Cypress Drive, Big Pine Key this morning, just before 9 am Sheriff’s dispatchers notified the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission so they could send someone to the area to trap and relocate the reptile. In the meantime, deputies assigned to the area are keeping an eye on it to make sure people and animals are aware of its presence and stay a safe distance away. photo courtesy of Deputy Richard Wang
