I don't get over here as much as would like but here's a gator story that made the Cleveland news. It's my twin brother in the segment. Speaking of interesting stories, my facility just took in a 5' gator that a guy has had for 12 years (a bit small for that age). The guy won the gator in a poker game when he buddy, who ran out of money, pulled out a cardboard box with a gator egg inside that he collected from a trip to Florida. The group allowed him to use the egg for his anty and the winning hand took the egg home, put it in a tin coffee can with a light bulb on top and wouldn't you know it, the egg hatched...sounds a little far fetched but they guy has pictures of the animal as it grew up.
Here's the link to the gator story with my brother:
