I heard that there are nine alligators that are on the loose from the Gulf Shores zoo.

How deep is the water, and how far does it go there? a 1200lb gater can hide pretty good with all the junk floating around. @_@

here's what you do, get a 1K lb. test line and bait it with a small goat, then drag around behind a boat until you catch him. :lol:

I read elsewhere here at HH that there are deer loose from that zoo, too.

Crocs have been known to eat antelope and wildebeest at watering holes in Africa.

Chucky and his gator buds may feast on a deer if they're hungry.

Well, let me be the first to say if this zoo hadn't existed Chucky would be in the wild and probably not a threat to anyone right now. I do see the danger and likely he will be killed. There are zoo's that do wonderful things, preserving a species. I just haven't found visiting the zoo and viewing caged animals enjoyment for a long time now.
