I'm worried these giants are getting way too close for comfort.

We even have a gator hunting season here in Alabama now.

Earlier today Michael Spain posted this photo.

I had no idea what I was looking at.

I was shocked to find out this is a gator nest! Not just a gator nest, but a gator nest right here in Alabama.

Michael Spain said in his post....

"This is an alligator nest, I thought I might share it with the group. This was taken at Alligator Alley, a home for nuisance alligators in Alabama, but they are allowed to be Gators here."

How terrifying? You have to know mama is never far away.

Check out the video of this gator crossing a walking path in a residential neighborhood lake below.

These Gators are getting out of control. We recently published this story about a gator crossing a busy roadway in Huntsville AL...

The gator population is out of control. Something has to be done. If we aren't careful, these gators will take over our waterways.

Gators have been showing up in the craziest places. The other day this 11' monster was discovered in a family swimming pool.

In Tuscaloosa, we've had gators show up at the railroad track. FORTUNATELY, it was dead! Or sometimes just crossing the road with a meal in its mouth.

But how in the world did this monster make it all the way to Huntsville Alabama.

I know Huntsville was just ranked the number one city in America to live in, but now even the gators are migrating there.

 You know, I guess it's only fair. They're getting everything else.

Now they can have the gators also!

 But let's be serious for a minute.
These gators are becoming a problem in Alabama.
Do we really want to be like Louisiana or Florida with these monsters?
I know I don't want to walk out of my house and see a gator at the front door.
