 Kevin McAllen, 34, of Foley, said he was bitten on the leg July 16 while wading in waist-deep water in the public swimming area at Gulf State Park Resort, in Orange Beach, Alabama. "I didn't see him, but I felt him," McAllen said. "I felt something tug at my leg and, you know that instinct you have to reach down when something like that happens. I touched his head. He started to roll and then let go of me." McAllen was treated and released after receiving about 20 stitches to close the wound about three inches above his right ankle. Not to make light of Mister McAllen's wound, but he was very lucky, because surviving an alligator attack while you are in the water has just about the same odds as winning the lottery jackpot. Kevin gets the last laugh on this one though, because today a licensed trapper caught and killed the 8.5-foot, 200 lbs. Alligator that had taken up residence in the park's swimming area. The trapper gets to sell the hide for his effort; Mister McAllen gets the meat and a museum will get the head once a local taxidermist stuffs it.
