Gator fatality on Little Pine Island
The source of a great deal of rubber-necking recently was this nearly 7-foot-long alligator was found on the shoulder of Pine Island Road on Little Pine Island earlier this month. It is presumed that the gator was struck and killed by a passing motorist while it attempted to cross the road during the early morning hours.
This gator kill is further proof that the alligator population is prevalent throughout the Greater Pine Island area.
