MrPristine:


It's clearly a crocodile and not an alligator as alligators don't exist in Nigeria or indeed Africa contrary to what most people think. And before you or anyone decides to argue that they have seen alligators in Nigeria, i have decided to include this wikipedia writeup on alligators here cool

Habitat

Alligators are native only to the United States and China.

American alligators are found in the southeast United States: all of Florida and Louisiana, the southern parts of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, coastal South and North Carolina, East Texas, the southeast corner of Oklahoma, and the southern tip of Arkansas. According to the 2005 Scholastic Book of World Records, Louisiana has the largest alligator population. The majority of American alligators inhabit Florida and Louisiana, with over a million alligators in each state. Southern Florida is the only place where both alligators and crocodiles live side by side.

Even our elite troops has joined the killing of nature's gifts. Even if this animal had become a nuisance, the could have captured and donated it to a zoo.

WTF!!! With all due respect, please if you can't type in English, try type with pidgin or yoruba because am finding it difficult to comprehend the bullshiit you type here.

It is very simple English.

You said you support the killing of every dangerous beast. With such thinking, it is obvious you are a dangerous beast, so you support you being killed.

Such reasoning is the reasoning of a simpleton that has not developed and reached the reasoning level that is expected of a developed and advanced human being.

Idiiots Navy, you don't shoot to kill the creature. You can tranquilize it and take it to the park for visitors to see. It can generate revenue. Chai, these trigger-happy idiots.
