Lake Lanier Alligator Still Not Caught

Update: the alligator was caught this week.

There's a baby alligator still on the loose in Lake Lanier.

It was last seen under an old, unused dock on Flat Creek. The area is close to Old Federal Park and Sunrise Cove Marina.

The alligator probably only weighs about 10 pounds and the jaw would only open about 2 1/2 inches ... much too small to hurt anyone.

The Department of Natural Resourses are more concerned about the alligator itself which is a type indigenous to Florida or the southern part of the state and might suffer if not caught before winter. They're trying the catch the alligator with a live tap using chicken for bait. Because its so far from home, the DNR suspect someone let the alligator free on purpose.
