THEY ARE IN OUR LAKES.............

Yes, the photographs below are real and were taken at Sandalwood Lake in Kansas on 28 May 2004. Here is the account of the circumstances under which the pictures were taken that appeared in the Wichita Eagle on 30 May 2004:

Friday afternoon, Bill Driver was standing on the deck of his house near 119th Street West and Central when he saw an eight-inch ball floating in Sandalwood Lake.

Noticing the ball wasn't floating normally, Driver wandered to his dock for a closer look. A catfish had its mouth stuck around the ball.

Driver hollered for his wife, Pam, to get a camera while he unrigged the sail from his nine-foot boat, wading into the lake and corralling the fish toward shore with the sail as a seine.

Several times, the flathead tried to dive, only to have the ball buoy it back to the surface.

The fish appeared to be exhausted and offered little resistance once in the shallows.

Things may have gone easier had the fish the strength to struggle.

"I just couldn't pull that ball out of its mouth," Driver said. "I was lifting up out of the water as best I could by the ball. I finally sent my wife to the house to get a knife."

Driver carefully deflated the ball. Estimated at 50 pounds, the fish swam toward the deepest part of the lake.

Driver has no plans of targeting the fish in the near future.

Instead, he'll probably continue to fish for the bass and panfish that swim within the one-acre lake.

"I guess I might try fishing with a golf ball," Driver said. "Smaller fish, smaller bait."

Alligator Takes Deer to Lunch in South Georgia
August 23, 2004

The sight of a 12 to 14 foot-long alligator is something south Georgia folks see occasionally, but few have seen one take an adult deer out to lunch. Actually -- for lunch.

The photographs of this deer-eating alligator were taken from the air by Terri Jenkins, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service District Fire Management Officer. This one was at least 12-13 feet long. Jenkins said that some bull alligators have a 35 inch girth.

Y'ALL DON'T GET IT. YOU SEE ANIMALS CAN'T WRITE. SO THEY USE OTHER ANIMALS TO GET THEIR MESSAGES ACROSS. SO THE ALLIGATOR IS FEMALE AND SHE TAKING THE DEER TO HER BOYFRIENDS HOUSE. TO PERSONALLY GIVE HIM A 'DEER JOHN' LETTER. AS FOR THE CATFISH. HE PROBABLY OWED SOME 'LOAN SHARK' SOME MONEY. SO THE LOAN SHARK TOLD THE CATFISH THAT HE THREE CHOICES: 1.PAY UP. 2.MY BOYS WILL SHOVE THIS UP YOUR A$$. OR 3.THEY SHOVE IT DOWN YOUR THROAT. WE SEE WHICH NUMBER HE CHOICED.
