This should not come as a suprise after I reported about the family of wild hogs living in City Park. As I can tell, police were called to Bayou St. John near the Mid-City post office on Thanksgiving Day, after reports of a five foot gator in the bayou. They were ill-equipped to handle the situation and the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries was called to come get it. This being a holiday weekend I’m sure they were slow to respond and may or may not have caught the reptile. Therese from the Bayou Coffee House ^[1] forwarded this picture to the MCNO mailing list, along with some wise words; “Please watch your kids and dogs. It was not scared of people.”
