Why does JSO get credit for this, looked like a civilian handed that baby gator over.

Did you steal her friend?

Lived in Jacksonville 52 years never seen a gator in my life in the wild.

@@Darrinbewitched I have watched them laying on the banks of a small creek by the golf course in Ponte Vedra. They couldn't climb the bank where I was but they would be all over the neighbors back yard every morning. I have seen them in ditches and all the neighbors knew to look under their cars during mating season. I have seen many while boating in the river. Be careful because I can assure you they are everywhere.

@@Darrinbewitched It is sometimes difficult to see them if they are in the water as they sometimes just look like a small knot on the water but when approaching them by boat, they pull themselves under the water.
