More than anticipated

A golfer in Florida almost lost his arm yesterday when he lost his ball in a pond and went to retrieve it. He was bitten by an alligator and was brought to a hospital after almost losing his life. I wonder if he got the ball back. He had no serious injuries and the alligator was captured.

Retic in Wales

A large reticulated python was found in southern Wales on monday, very far from it's natural east asian habitat. Could you imagine how much effort would have to go into taking care of a snake until it is 15 ft. long. Obviously someone didn't try to let the animal go, that would be thousands of dollars down the drain. Hope it goes to a good home.

The Knoxville Zoo has just received a new albino alligator for their exhibits. The alligator, named Dinah, is being loaned to the zoo until September when she will be returned to the farm that she lives at. Albino alligators are extremely rare because of their tendency to stick out in their natural surroundings, making a good target for birds, fish, and larger gators.
