A visit from the Peace River Gator

It used to be Stumpy and then it was Stumpette..................Have not seen either of them in a long while, but we do have a resident gator here at Peace River.
Below, Mark, one of the guys on the maintainance crew  found this little one down by the river and brought him in to the store the other day........

Mark, Rober and Patti - inspect our visiting gator.

Amazing how gentle they seem when they're being held..........

A few more close-ups..........

Is that a smile?  The gator I mean...............

Brenda and Judy grabbed the ruler.............This little one was about 2 1/2 ft long.



And a close up of one of his legs.   Check out those claws!

We and several visitors to the store enjoyed the visit.  And then Mark took him back to hisfavorite place along  the Peace River........
