85 year old woman gets taken-down by an alligator...
I read the news the other day about a woman who lost her life by an alligator near her house in Fort Pierce, Florida. Photos were posted of the Florida Wildlife Commission taking the creature away.The followup story shows surveillance video of the event. Well, most of it.
She was walking her dog along the sloped edge to a pond when the alligator came directly toward them. The dog was on a leash behind the woman. When the gator went for the dog, he ran forward putting the alligator at the feet of the woman.
A neighbor was an eyewitness and called 911 stating the alligator had already submerged the woman into the water.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said in a statement. "Serious injuries caused by alligators are rare in Florida."
...and chatillion who lives in Florida said "I know BS when I read it. Because, incidents with alligators happen a few times a year"

The story mentions the alligator was killed and the dog survived.

How come Chatillion, is it to add to the excitement of old folks rather dull lives?
Someone has to adopt the dog.
The undertaker just signed up a new client.
Your alligator boots will be ready in 3 weeks.
They don't get to be that size 'overnight' so someone wasn't doing their job.
Sharks...?
My daughter went to the beach on Sunday and sent me photos of a helicopter landing on the rear deck of a large ship. She included a video of a baby shark (about 4 feet long) less than 10 feet from the shoreline.
Yeah, we got-um too!
NT: The report shows 14 people died from croc attacks between 2005 and 2014, compared with 10 deaths in the 33 years to 2004.

An attorney’s opinion on the matter.
