State wildlife officials say serious injuries caused by alligators are rare in Florida.
Claws, scales, teeth and tails: There's a place in Medford where alligators and snakes have taken over.
Self-proclaimed owner Tony Cavallaro said he treated his pet alligator Albert "than most people take care of their kids."
The 13-foot alligator was "humanely killed," and the victim's remains were recovered by a dive team from a canal, authorities said.
"That's a real dinosaur," one person said of the gator's record-breaking size.
"Ready?" one of the officers said. "You want to jump on him?"
One week after a baby alligator was found swimming in a Wisconsin lake just southwest of Green Bay, another alligator was found roaming around, this time in Kenosha.
An animal rescue team has the reptile now. They say he probably was released into the lake by his owner or simply got away.
