Interesting find on Dyer Road Tuesday morning

Interesting find on Dyer Road Tuesday morning

There is no need to go to the swamps of Pierre Part to see an alligator. If you were driving on Dyer Road at the Comite River bridge in Central Tuesday morning, and you thought you may have seen an alligator, your eyes were not playing tricks on you.

This gator, estimated to be between four and five feet long, was not alive, but the person who took the picture said there were no signs of trauma, and had no idea on how the reptile died.

The viewer commented on how this will make her think twice about going swimming in the Comite River.
