Alfred with tail.
12 footer smiles for the camera - reluctantly :)
An 8 footer has an injury and needs treatment. But the 8 footer does not want to get treatment and puts up a fight. The other alligators run for cover.
Alfred wrestles with an 8 footer. The 8-footer is supposed to get a shot with antibiotics. But he hates injections.
Will power, skill, and physical strength determine the outcome of the wresting match.
The wrestling match is over.
A 6-footer needs to take a bath in bathtub with medication. We tape his mouth for the transport.
Almost ready for the bath in the antibiotics solution.
The6-footer is carried to the tub with the antibiotic solution.
A 5-footer and Alfred.
An 8-footer and Alfred smile.
Pia wrestles an 8-footer
The alligator resists.
Pia overwhelms the alligator.
Jay takes pictures.
However, when Pia releases the alligator she stumbles ...
and the alligator snaps her in the leg. The pictures shows scratches from the teeths of the alligator, however ...
Pia got much bigger sratches on her knees from rocks at the bottom of the pond when she was wrestling with the alligator.
A 12 footers needs to be separated from another 12 footer, because they compete for territory. Therefore we try to move him to a different pond. However he does not want to move. We lasso him, pull him, take to him firmly and tickle him behind his back legs.
Pia (blue shirt) plays the bait. ;)
Success! The 12-footer is in the other pond.
Alfred and the 12-footer are smiling for the camera.
