An oil and gas company customer sent the following pictures to us in a power point presentation. I pulled the pictures of the power point. I didn’t take the pictures myself so I’m not posting in a meme.
At a gas compressor installation in south Texas an alligator got himself stuck in the compressor skid and struggled to exhaustion before they found him in the morning.
They removed the 2″ pipe that was pinning the gator and then got out of the way. A Game Warden showed up to help ensure the safety of the critter.
Then the gator got mad and tried to get even.
He finally got himself out of the skid and just layed there for a bit recovering.
They measured it at 8′ 7″. The wildlife department transported it to a nearby State Park. So it was happy ending.
Amazing photos. Can’t blame the gator for biting the equipment. Wasn’t nice of it to trap him like that!
Yogi: That is a story you are going to remember.
Good grief Yogi, well I’m glad no one was hurt and that the aligator was transported to kinder surroundings. Great post, enjoyed it very much, thanks!
