What is the last thing you would expect to see running at you while fishing at 10 pm in a small pond in Loveland, Co? If you said an alligator you would be correct! We have a Caimen (south american alligator), at least 5 feet long, living in a pond on the south side of town. It has been seen a couple of times during the last couple weeks and it even made the local paper but it was passed off like an alien sighting and nothing was followed up on.....until it came from the depths of Jayhawker Pond and ran at a couple boys. When Animal Control arrived, I am sure for C.Y.A. purposes, he spotted the reptile lounging on the shore and CALLED FOR HELP!
The matter is being taken seriously now! The pond has been closed and Division of Wildlife is attempting to catch it, and rumor has it, given the approval to shot on site. I am really curious who thought this would make a good pet!

Heh! We had one of those in a small lake in L.A. Took the authorities over 18 months to catch 'Reggie'. Hope your 'gator isn't as wily as old Reg.
Too funny...although not for those poor kids!!
