This gator was killed by the Army on Sunday in downtown New Orleans. Specialists estimated the gator as being at least eighty years old - possibly older - and, too old to catch animals, he's suspected of having macked on people for sustenance.

At 22' long and 4500 lbs. , this big guy is suspected of having consumed a few New Orleans residents in the wake of the flood.

His stomach contents are scheduled to be analyzed Friday.

It's a Hoax (http://www.snopes.com/katrina/photos/crocodile.asp). :)

However, it reminds me of a neighbor of mine who ate alot. OD'ed on Cocaine.
Stomach contents included beer cans, a Maryland license plate, half a bicycle tire, a Goat ....and a small wooden puppet....goes by the name of Pinocchio.

I was going to say it doesn't look like an alligator but a croc.


Look at the head and the back along with the coloring....


Hmmmm.

It is a crock!

The local mayor reportedly insisted on preserving the crocodile's carcass against the efforts of locals who wanted to eat it and arranged for it to be shipped to a taxidermist. Why do people bother sending this cr%p around? No reflection on you NC, it looks plausible, but man people have too much time on their hands.
