Another gator attack. I hope she makes it through the potential infection. We had a guy get bitten on one of our golf courses and it took six months of antibiotics. At age 90 it could be fatal. And then there was the lady killed on Sanabel a few years ago, but that one was larger than 8'. Scary story.

UPDATE:

Alligator attack victim remains critical with amputated leg; gator likely dead Published September 1, 2011 at 8:46 p.m.

The gators seem more active and angry this year than last. Also, more prevelent.
Maybe because it was so dry last summer and quite wet this year?

Looks like bullets probably killed the gator. I wonder who had been feeding it before this incident?

With the excess water the little buggers are moving farther west away from the Everglades.

She is one tough Granny. The gator's no slouch either, staying alive with a bullet in the head.
