Chomp Some!

Hello.

Pinellas County, Florida deputies have recovered a human body inside a 14-foot alligator and it was a woman who disappeared. Witnesses saw the reptile carry the body across the street.

Florida Wildlife and Game had to kill the alligator and identify the victim as a 41-year old woman from the Tampa area. Sabrina Peckham was identified as the victim of this.

JaMarcus Bullard of Largo saw the reptile underneath a bridge with a large object in its mouth. He started filming and then threw a rock at it. Upon viewing, he was shocked to see a torso. He ran to the Largo Fire Department and they called the wildlife agency.

“I could tell there was a body in his mouth, so I started recording,” Bullard said.

Alligators have been spotted in the area before, but resident Jennifer Dean told CNN-affiillate Spectrum News 13 that she had never seen one this large.

“A lot of my neighbors were out here and they’re the ones that told me about the gator,” Dean said. “While we were standing here we heard a shot. I assume they killed the gator.”

Sabrina Peckham didn't stand a chance.

Alligators are known to be found in Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Mississippi. Alligators sightings are rare but do exist in North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma.

Can we do a Darwin Award for the most stupidest people on the planet?

You can't fix stupid!

You can't change minds!

You are completely trapped in stupid.

You are wrapped and emboldened in stupid.

Again, why do white people always treat wild animals like they're domesticated? 

I would never touch a wild animal. 

Alas, some people think that animals are timid when you're petting them. Nope.

While rare, alligator attacks do happen and many of the victims are close to the water or have pets within a sight of the reptile. If you get too close to the reptile, you are likely a victim of stupidity. On land, an alligator is fast. In the water, an alligator is deadly. 

Especially when you live in a community where water is close by... I mean are they clueless or just stupid?

Once the animal gets a hold of a prey, it's rare that an animal will escape without losing a body part.

Graphic aftermath of Florida authorities killing the alligator.

It's the unfortunate cause and effect of animals and people.

I've said it before and I stand by what I say: "Wild animals are......well you know!"

If you want to be a thrill seeker, you might want to get life insurance.

To escape an alligator in the water if possible, punch its eyes or put something in its nose. Don't turn your back on an alligator. If you're on land run backwards in a zig zag position. An alligator does not want to waste its time trying to catch a prey that moves too much. An alligator can travel up to 20 mph on land and is very fast and silent in the water. 

When you are near ponds or bodies of water keep pets, elderly adults and small children away.

I will say this as a reminder. Back in the slavery days, white extremists would kidnap Black babies and string them to trees. They leave them crying in the swamps for alligators and bears to attack them. They would use Black babies as bait for alligators and bears.
