Still Waters Posted June 27, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 27, 2017 If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? What if it lands right on top of an American alligator? The question is more than hypothetical for one large reptile flattened by a falling tree in Georgia’s Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge. Maintenance crews discovered the remains of the unfortunate beast this June when they traveled to Wassaw Island to remove debris from Hurricane Matthew, which struck in October 2016. While Lawson said this is the first time she’s ever seen a gator laid low by timber, the event may happen more often than we realize. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/06/alligators-hurricanes-trees-georgia/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
