Alligator Falls In Love With City Sanitation Truck 1

"Attitude", a female alligator at Jungle Gardens in Sarasota, is falling in love with a city garbage truck. Caretakers noticed her unusual behavior every time the truck would come to pick up the trash. "It's very consistent. Every time they come, she'll pick her head and tail up and let out a huge roar. It's very loud and intimidating if you're not expecting it." said Julie Harder, Attitude's caretaker. Alligators communicate by bellowing with one another during mating season and experts at Jungle Gardens believe Attitude may be mistaking the garbage truck's low rumble for a male alligator's mating call. Lets hope Attitude never gets a chance to consummate her love. Wildlife officials have enough problems fighting introduced species in the Everglades without the terror of giant compacting alligators.
