Gat'or Done!

For a while now I have been in the market for a taxidermy alligator. Not sure if I want one of those small 2 foot guys, standing on his hind legs and holding a tray, like the one collecting tips at Acadiana's bar in DC, or a 6 footer climbing a rustic ladder propped against a wall, or one of those gator heads you find in just about any souvenir shop along the Louisiana coast.

Browsing eBay this week, I came across this two-part trophy out of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The merchant is selling the 11' Alligator Mississipiensis in two parts, the head/torso and rear legs/tail for a small sum of $2,995 each (+ $800 shipping fees).

I can't fathom the two parts mounted next to each other, however, it would be something to hang the front and back on different sides of the same wall. With the right architecture, this Gator could find a happy home in someone's coastal hunting cabin.

The HEAD can be found HERE and the TAIL can be found HERE.
