February 8th, 2010 Big Al
My friend Jamie Pastika needed a alligator for his zoo in minnesota, The RAD Zoo. We caught this 11′4, 700 pound gator located in a small pond, he is between 80 and a 100 years old. Gators this big are considered threats to humans in most populated areas and would be killed. But this one received a huge new home on exhibit in Jamie’s zoo, the zoos reptiles are housed in a 14,000 sqr foot building.
