Oh no, it's definitely illegal.
Sorry if I derailed the thread; just illustrating that warnings are usually given so this Disney thing is really odd to me.
There's a long story to that poaching incident - it led to an officer being put back out there full time. Made him happy!
The initial responding West Palm officer said he didn't know it was illegal to take the gator.
Can you imagine a cop not knowing.
The regular hikers know when the "regular" creatures are not acting right, so to speak. Several had been commenting about changes in behavior of gators who tend to hang out near the trail.
