I'm glad they found a gator that big, that means that available habitat is
(was?) good. Were the rattlesnakes killed or just counted? Killing 87
rattlesnakes would be a local holocaust for the local ecosystem unless a
sudden population jump in small rodents is considered a good thing. Hope I'm
wrong...
