Massive Alligator Lounging In Front Of a Local Breaux Bridge Home

Massive Alligator Lounging In Front Of a Local Breaux Bridge Home

 

Welcome to South Louisiana! “In most parts of the country, the worst critters residents have to fear in their neighborhoods are maybe stray dogs or cornered raccoons. In South Louisiana, we have animals that EAT stray dogs and cornered raccoons.”

It’s not every day when an alligator shows up at your front door to lounge for the afternoon. This Breaux Bridge home was lucky to have the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries at their beck and call to help trap this monster alligator! For more on the story and footage of the capture, click here.
