The owner of a South Carolina taxidermy shop said he found five dog tags, a shell casing and even a spark plug inside the stomach of a 12-foot alligator killed by a hunter, WCSC reported.
The 445-pound reptile, which was killed by a hunter and removed from private property, also had turtle shells and bobcat claws inside its stomach, according to a Facebook post by Cordray’s, a taxidermy shop in Ravenel that also sells exotic wildlife meat.
Cordray found five brass identification tags from dog collars, and two of them were still legible, WCIV reported. One of the telephone numbers still worked, Cordray said.
“I talked to him and he was an older gentleman and he said that he had a lease down on the other side of the river from where the gator was killed, 24 years ago,” Cordray told WCSC.
This thing was like the Catfish Hunter (I'm talking about the fish) of alligators.
