Residents in Bonita Springs had an unexpected adventure when a huge alligator decided to make an Imperial River canal its home. The 10 feet 9-inch, 500-pound gator was getting a bit too cozy with the community’s kayakers, pets, and kids, prompting locals to take action. Mike Caito and Chuck Rizzo, along with others, got together and asked the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) to step in on January 20th.
