SARASOTA COUNTY, Fla. – Trappers removed an injured alligator, believed to be a 10-foot-8, 300-pound male, from a pond near the 15th tee box at the Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club near Venice late Monday morning.
“He walked across the 15th tee box, laid in the reeds for a while, and someone called the Sheriff’s Office,” said Bob Gada — pronounced like gator — who added that the gator likely wanted to slide into the nearby pond.
Gada, who did get some gentle ribbing from neighbors who asked if that was his gator, captured images of the gator and a video of it being removed.
