Baruch Hashem!!!
Baruch H-sh-m, he was found alive, and in good health I hope.
Gators (and Crocks) are not the only monsters in those swamps these days.
There are also Boa Constrictors and Pythons and Annacondas, all of which are expected to have
individuals that may grow to 30 feet or longer
which would make them easily large enough to swallow a grown man whole, G-d forbid.
Then of course there are others like Rattlers and Coral Snakes, which are deadly poisonous.
