Updated: Large alligator in our beach town.

[surfered]

Estimated at 12’ and was given the name “Boots.” I don’t know why.



He used to reside at a freshwater pond on the bay side of our island, fed by the effluent from our wastewater plant, which then became a popular birding center and park with a boardwalk.

But Boots left the birding center and used the tidal fed drainage ditches to come into town. When he was sunning on the banks, tourists flocked to see him with their dogs and young children. Due to their stupidity and fearing a tragedy, Parks and Wildlife was contacted and they came and captured him and moved him to a refuge

1. He might have been named Boots because boots can be made of alligator skin

and a lot of boots could be made with that one. No cute little white paws like a cat named Boots might have.

2. Maybe his full name is

purses, luggage and boots.

3. I guess "Boots" would be better than "Soup"
