This
alligator is alleged to be the famous 'Old Joe,' killed by an
unknown
assailant at Wakulla Springs in 1966. News stories were carried all
over the state. Joe or a lookalike (rumor is Joe decomposed on the way
to the taxidermist) reposes under
glass at the Lodge. At 11 feet, two
inches, Joe was an estimated 200 years old, says a plaque, and 'had
never molested man,
woman child or pets.' He lived on a sandbar near the swimming
area. Email us if you know more.
