alligator from everglades

I spotted this alligator but it hit the water immediatly. We came back about 30 minutes later and it was still in the water on the other side of the canal. I was contemplating on getting in the water and when I turned to my friends to tell them my plans, Jesse(black underwear) we already stripped down ready for action. He swam across the over head deep canal and grabbed the alligator. We took a few pics and safely returned this beautiful animal back to its home.

yeah lol, we should have our own show called reptile strip tease. One other time we were out looking for timber rattlesnakes, we came across one but didnt have a bag so my friend and I immediatly started to unbucle our belts. He got his pants off before me and he tied the legs together and we put the snake in his pants and then tied the belt around the top. So he was walking through the woods in his underwear with a timber rattlesnake in his pants.

I certainly hope law enforcement does not look on these boards.. Good thing you didn't get caught, Fl fish and game don't play when it comes to gators in the reserve.

Nice animal though.
