Gator stalks bobcat

TAMPA, Florida -- Teeth, scales, and nails: it's 10 feet of alligator lurking in a Tampa Palms retention pond, and appearing as the star of this news story. Homeowner Bryan Peabody was taking pictures behind his home when something caught his eye. Peabody saw a Florida bobcat sitting on the pond's edge, so he grabbed his camera. "When all of a sudden this monster head of a gator pops out of the water and it took my breath away. I mean, I was standing here breathless," he said. Bryan stood riveted and watched as the massive, 10-foot gator emerged from the pond and, with stealth, zeroed in on the cat. Moving closer, closer, and closer.
