Quote:Elorde said the crocodile killed a water buffalo in an attack witnessed by villagers last month and was also suspected of having attacked a fisherman who went missing in July.

DAMN

I shouldn't have let it free while on my trip earlier this summer...

Gators on the Coosa

We have alligators in the Coosa River in Wetumpka down near Prattville. The Coosa is a popular river to canoe.

Maybe it's an omen for the ballgame this weekend.

There have been rumors of these beasts being present in Lake Logan Martin as well.

It wouldn't surprise me if they were in Logan Martin.

I have personally seen an alligator (about 6 feet in length) while fishing in the coves near Robert Trent golf course down here in Prattville. I was fishing in my personal inflatable pontoon that sits about 6 inches out of the water. I wasn't too worried since most smaller alligators in Alabama tend to be more afraid of people than we are of them. When given the chance, they flee instead of attack.

Weiss is supposed to have one. When Bear Grylls was in FP for a show, he mentioned the "appearance."

I live not far off the Black Warrior in Alliance (Bessemer mailing address to get your bearings)....although nothing really big, we have seen a couple here and there on the river.
